The AWK-6222 provides four standardized wireless security modes: Open, WEP (Wired

Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2. Several types of security models

are available in AWK-6222 by selecting Security mode and WPA type:

y Open: No authentication, no data encryption.

y WEP: Static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys must be manually configured.

y WPA/WPA2-Personal: also known as WPA/WPA2-PSK. You need to specify the Pre-Shared

Key in the Passphrase field, which will be used by the TKIP or AES engine as a master key to

generate keys that actually encrypt outgoing packets and decrypt incoming packets.

y WPA/WPA2-Enterprise: also called WPA/WPA2-EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).

In addition to device-based authentication, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise enables user-based

authentication via IEEE802.1X. The AWK-6222 can support three EAP methods: EAP-TLS,

EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP.
