Customizing Metro WLAN or Home WLAN Settings

Customizing 802.1X Settings

If you choose “WPA” as the encryption method, you have the option to set up the Metro Broadband Gateway

to act as an 802.1X proxy, utilizing external authentication sources such as a RADIUS server. This provides

a higher level of security, when compared to the static security process in a WEP configuration.Using

802.1X lets a device complete authentication prior to the exchange of data.

To configure WLAN-specific 802.1X authentication settings, follow these steps:

1. Open the Web User interface, and click Wireless under Configuration.

2. When the Configure :: Wireless :: Common workspace appears, click the Metro WLAN tab.

3. When the workspace appears, open the Encryption Method menu and choose WPA. The basic set of

WPA-specific encryption options appear in this workspace.

4. Select 802.1x as the WPA Authentication mode.

ALERT

Do not undertake the customizing of these options unless you are an experienced

network administrator or are under the guidance of an IT/support professional.
