Setting the wireless authentication method
Select the authentication method to use for your wireless network connection. The options are Open
System, Shared Key, and WPA-PSK.
Open System
Open System authentication allows any user to authenticate with the access point. This method
can be used with no encryption, or with WEP encryption. Although Open System
authentication is the default authentication method for some versions of Microsoft Windows,
other methods are more secure.
Shared Key
In Shared Key authentication, only those wireless clients that have the shared key can connect.
This is more secure than Open System authentication. Shared Key authentication can be used
only with WEP encryption.
WPA-PSK
PSK (pre-shared key) is the only WPA authentication method the Firebox X Edge e-Series
Wireless supports at this time.
Configuring encryption
From the Encryption drop-down list, select the level of encryption for your wireless connections. The
options change when you use different authentication mechanisms.
