Using WPA Security
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a strongly enhanced, interoperable Wi-Fi
security that addresses many of the vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP). Instead of WEP, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) for its data encryption method. Currently, WPA satisfies
IEEE 802.11i standards.
WPA runs in Enterprise (802.1x) mode or PSK mode:
• In Enterprise mode, WPA provides user authentication using 802.1x and
the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). That is, an authentication
server (such as a RADIUS server) must authenticate each device before
the device can communicate with the wireless network.
• In PSK mode, WPA provides user authentication using a shared key
between the authenticator and the 751G. WPA-PSK is a good solution
for small offices or home offices that do not want to use an
authentication server.
To use WPA security, you need an access point with an 802.11b/g radio
that supports WPA.
