In the connection setup dialogs, enter the encryption keys,
depending on the WLAN connection in question. For stronger
security, it is recommended that you use the WPA method, if
possible.
WEP authentication
Enter the wireless equivalent privacy (WEP) key. You can
define more than one WEP key, and you can also select the
default key, if that is required by your WLAN.
WPA authentication
Enter the Wi-Fi protected access (WPA) preshared key. The key
length must be between 8 and 63 characters. Only ASCII
characters are allowed.
WPA with EAP type
To define the extensible authentication protocol (EAP) type,
select from the following:
TLS (transport layer security) authentication — Select the
client certificate used for authentication.
PEAP (protected extensible authentication protocol)
authentication or TTLS (tunnelled transport layer
security) — Select an authentication method used inside
PEAP or TTLS and an optional client certificate.
For MSCHAPv2, define a user name and a password. Select the
Prompt password at every login check box, if you want
your password to be always requested when a connection is
created. For GTC, enter your user name. You are prompted for
a response upon connection creation. The client certificates
are optional. For more information, contact your internet
service provider.
