Wireless Authentication Type (Wireless Security Only)
This parameter sets the type of authentication to be performed with the network access point (Radius
authentication server), or with a peer unit in Ad Hoc mode. The SX-550 supports Shared Key and Open
System Authentication with WEP, and PSK, TLS, TTLS, LEAP, PEAP, and EAP-FAST with WPA, WPA2,
DYNAMIC WEP, and WPA2-WPA. ). Select the desired wireless authentication type on the Configure
Network Security screen in the SX-550 internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW
AUTHTYPE <type>, where <type> is OPEN, SHARED, TTLS, PEAP, WPA-PSK, LEAP, TLS, or EAP-
FAST.
Wired Authentication Type (Wired Ethernet Networks Only)
This parameter sets the type of authentication to be performed with a Radius authentication server on a
wired Ethernet network. The SX-550 supports TLS, TTLS, and PEAP authentication on these types of
networks. Select the desired wired authentication type on the Configure Network Security screen in the
SX-550 internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW ETHAUTH <type>, where <type> is
TTLS, PEAP, or EAP-FAST.
Authentication Attempts
This parameter sets the number of authentication attempts to make before the SX-550 assumes the
network has no authentication. If zero (0) is entered, the SX-550 attempts to authenticate forever. Enter
the number of authentication attempts on the Configure Network Security screen in the SX-550 internal
web pages, or use the console command SET NW AUTHTRY n, where n is the number of attempts
(default is 0).
User ID
This parameter is the logon user ID that the SX-550 uses to authenticate to the 802.1x-enabled network.
The user ID and password must be in the authentication server database. The default user ID is
'anonymous'. Enter the user ID on the Configure Network Security screen in the SX-550 internal web
pages, or use the console command SET NW ID <user id>, where <user id> is the user ID (the realm can
included in the user id with the separator “@”).
Realm
A realm defines a grouping of users. If a realm is required for your network, it is separated from the user
ID by a '@' character. Realms makes it easier to segregate user groups into independently administered
databases, to apply policies on a user group basis, and to establish roaming agreements to name
a few applications. The default realm if not specified is 'anonymous'. Enter the realm on the Configure
Network Security screen in the SX-550 internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW
REALM <realm>, where <realm> is the name of the realm.
Password
This parameter is the logon password that the server uses to authenticate to the 802.1x-enabled network.
The user ID and password must be in the authentication server database. The password may be a text
string, or a string of hex bytes. Enter the password on the Configure Network Security screen in the SX-
550 internal web pages, or use the console command SET NW PW <password>, where <password> is
the password (default value is anonymous).
Authentication Protocol
This parameter determines how the server authenticates itself to the 802.1x-enabled network after an
802.1x session is established. The default is PAP; MSCHAP_V2 is the alternative protocol. Select the
desired protocol on the Configure Network Security screen in the SX-550 internal web pages, or use the
console command SET NW INAP <password>, where <password> is PAP or MSCHAP_V2.
Authentication Certificate
Authentication certificates are used by TLS and PEAP. You can manually enter the certificate
information, or you can extract the Root Key and Root Key Exponent from a file on your disk. The
required information is as follows:
