Overview

Access Point Authentication Defines how your client adapter attempts to authenticate to an access

point.

Default: Open Authentication

Authentication Description

Open Authentication Allows your client adapter, regardless of

its WEP settings, to authenticate and

attempt to communicate with an access

point.

Shared Key

Authentication

Allows your client adapter to

communicate only with access points that

have the same WEP keys.

The access point sends a known

unencrypted challenge packet to the client

adapter, which encrypts the packet and

sends it back to the access point. The

access point attempts to decrypt the

encrypted packet and sends back to the

client adapter an authentication-response

packet that shows the success or the failure

of the decryption.

Note If LEAP is enabled on your client adapter, Open Authentication

is the only available option.

Note The Shared Key Authentication option is available only if the

client adapter is assigned a WEP key and WEP is enabled. See

the “Entering a New WEP Key” section on page 4-3 for

instructions on setting a WEP key and the Enable WEP

parameter in Table 5-3 for instructions on enabling WEP.
