Configuration and Management
for sensitive corporate and government data transmission. WPA/WPA2
Mixed enables connection of both WPA and WPA2 clients.
WPA and WPA2 authentication and encryption require a passphrase. A
passphrase is a sequence of words or other text and is similar to a
password in usage, but is generally longer for added security.
Each device on your wireless network has to be configured with exactly the
same passphrase as the Ericsson W21 in order to allow encrypted data
transmission.
A WPA or WPA2 passphrase is case sensitive (distinguish between
uppercase and lowercase letters) and consists of between 8 and 63
characters. It is recommended that the passphrase contains at least 20
characters.
Enter a passphrase in the “Passphrase / Key” field and click Apply to save
the settings.
Note: Avoid using special characters (such as :, “ and ¤) when entering a
passphrase.
2.6.9 Connected Devices
The “CONNECTED DEVICES” list includes the MAC (Media Access
Control) addresses of all wireless devices currently connected to the
Ericsson W21.
2.6.10 Whitelist
A common method of restricting WLAN access is to specify the MAC
address(es) in a “whitelist” for those computers to be granted access to the
WLAN. This kind of whitelist is also known as “MAC Association” or “MAC
Access list”.
Up to 20 MAC addresses for wireless clients can be added to the whitelist.
Once the whitelist has been enabled, only clients with an associated MAC
address are allowed to connect to the Ericsson W21 WLAN.
Note: This feature does not require any configuration of clients, but it is
recommended that some kind of encryption (WEP, WPA/WPA2) is
used in combination with the whitelist.
