Working with VSCs
VSC configuration options
When enabled, the service controller acts as the termination point for all WPA/WPA2
sessions.
When disabled, WPA/WPA2 sessions are terminated at the AP.
To use this option, the client device must be WPA capable.
Normally (with Terminate WPA at the service controller disabled) only the wireless
portion of the communication (between the user and AP) is secured, and the AP to service
controller portion is not. This is normally sufficient since outsiders have no access to your
wired network. However, in a public venue such as a hotel, if the public has access to your
wired network, it may be necessary
to secure communications all the way from the wireless client to the service controller.
WEP
This option provides support for users using WEP encryption.
Key source
This option determines how the WEP keys are generated: Dynamic or Static Key.
Dynamic: This is a dynamic key that changes each time the user logs in and is
authenticated. The key is generated via the configured 802.1X authentication method.
Therefore, when you enable this option, the 802.1X authentication feature is
automatically enabled.
Support static WEP: Enables support for users that are using the specified static WEP
key. See the definitions below for information on how to define the key.
Static key: This is a static key that you must define.
Key: The number of characters you specify for the key determines the level of
encryption. For 40-bit encryption, specify 5 ASCII characters or 10 HEX digits. For
128-bit encryption, specify 13 ASCII characters or 26 HEX digits.
