Chapter 7 Wireless LAN Setup

A wireless client supplicant is the software that runs on an operating system instructing the 
wireless client how to use WPA. At the time of writing, the most widely available supplicants 
are the WPA patch for Windows XP, Funk Software's Odyssey client, and Meetinghouse Data 
Communications' AEGIS client. 

The Windows XP patch is a free download that adds WPA capability to Windows XP's built-
in "Zero Configuration" wireless client. However, you must run Windows XP to use it.

To change your Prestige’s authentication settings, click the Wireless LAN link under 
Advanced Setup and then the 802.1x/WPA tab. 

The screen varies by the key management protocol 

you select

.

You see the next screen when you select No Access Allowed or No Authentication 
Required in the Wireless Port Control field.

the drop-down list box. Choose from No Access Allowed, No Authentication

No Authentication Required allows all wireless stations access to the wired network 

without entering usernames and passwords. This is the default setting. 
Authentication Required means that all wireless stations have to enter usernames
