1. No Encryption: Any device can connect to the network. Not recommended. 2. WPA-PSK(Wi-Fi Protected Access): WPA is part of the wireless security standard (802.11i) standardized by the Wi-Fi Alliance and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while the 802.11 standard was being prepared. It supports TKIP/AES encryption. The personal authentication is the pre-shared key (PSK) that is an alphanumeric passphrase shared with the wireless peer. 3. WPA2-PSK: WPA2 is the implementation of security standard specified in the final 802.11i standard. It supports AES encryption and this option uses pre-shared key (PSK) based authentication. 4. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed mode: Allows both WPA and WPA2 clients to connect simultaneously using PSK authentication. 5. WPA2-EAP: Allows you to use WPA2 with RADIUS server authentication.

CONFIDENTIAL 81 Indoor & Outdoor Access Points Revision: A0-09 16.4 Network/Mesh configuration of thick AP A wireless mesh network serves as a network of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. All APs participating in mesh topology does not need to have a wired connection for backhaul connectivity and only one root AP serves that purpose. Mesh configuration require access points to operate in two operating modes as follows:
1. Root Access Points: Root Access Points have wired connections, for example, Ethernet backhaul to a wired network and to Wireless LAN Controller. 2. Repeater: Repeats wireless signals to extend range without being connected with cable to Access Point, or with clients. Mesh configuration allows access points to connect with each other in mesh topology. An access point (Root AP) is connected to the wired network with the use of wireless connections over the 802.11 radio backhaul and other access points act as repeaters in mesh topology. A basic overview of the mesh configuration screen for thick AP is given below:

If enabled, provide the following parameters Select the contributing mode of the access point in the mesh topology from the drop down list
(Root AP/Repeater AP). If the AP mode is set to Root AP, make sure that the AP is connected to the wired network Select the type of mesh configuration from the dropdown list
(Auto/Manual). In case of Auto the connection between and root AP and repeater AP is fixed automatically and in case of manual the user need to define the SSID and CONFIDENTIAL 82 Indoor & Outdoor Access Points Revision: A0-09 Callout Name 6. SSID 7. Encryption Description encryption parameters. For a successful mesh configuration the SSID and the encryption parameters of root and repeater APs should match with each other Enter a unique name for the mesh SSID. Only a single SSID is used throughout the mesh network. This SSID operates in two hidden modes, one as master (receiver) and the other as managed (provider). Between a root AP and repeater AP, the managed mode of the root AP SSID connects with the master mode of the repeater AP. Between two repeater APs, the managed mode SSID of the 1st repeater AP connects with the master mode of the next repeater AP. This way all APs are connected wirelessly with each other in a mesh network. If any of the repeater is missing from the mesh network, the associated repeater AP connects itself with the next available repeater or Root AP in a similar way as discussed above Select the encryption protocol from the dropdown list
(Open/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/ WPA2-PSK_Mixed_Mode). No passphrase is needed in case of Open type network authentication protocol Click Save & Apply to save the advanced parameters of SSID configuration or click Reset to configure the same again.
