Using 802.1x Security
802.1x security provides centralized user authentication using an authenti-
cation server, authenticators (access points), and supplicants. These compo-
nents communicate using an EAP authentication type, such as TLS 
(Transport Layer Security) or PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication 
Protocol). 802.1x security provides data encryption using dynamic WEP 
key management. To use 802.1x security, you need:
• An authentication server Note that you can also use a MobileLAN access 
point with software release 1.80 or later as an authentication server. For 
help, see the MobileLAN access WA2X System Manual (P/N 073915)
• An access point with an 802.11b/g radio
• A CN30 Computer with an 802.11b/g radio and the 802.1x/WPA secu-
rity option
