Open System:
The default authentication service that simply announces the desire to associate with another station or
access point. A station can authenticate with any other station or access point using open system
authentication if the receiving station designates open system authentication.
Share Key:
The optional authentication that involves a more rigorous exchange of frames, ensuring that the
requesting station is authentic. For a station to use shared key authentication, it must implement WEP.
7. What authentication type does ZyAIR support?
ZyAIR support null authentication when WEP is disabled as specified by IEEE 802.11b/802.11g
standard, and when WEP is enabled it is using shared key authentication and data are encrypted at the
same time.
8. Why is the supplied utility for B-100/B-101/B-200/B-220/B-300/G-100 keep on prompting
"Invalid WEP key length" when I try to save my WEP configuration and I am sure the
configuration is correct?
Please make sure all 4 set of keys are with correct and WEP key length are also correct. Do not leave
any key field blank.
Note: Please make sure all 4 set of keys are consistent with the 4 set of keys configured in AP.
9. I have problem associated with ZyAIR with Symbol wireless PCMCIA card when WEP is
enabled, why?
This is because when WEP is enabled in ZyAIR it is authenticating using Shared key authentication.
Symbol PcMCIA client do not support Shared key Authentication. When configuring WEP encryption
please ensure open system is selected for authentication method. If you have several wireless NIC card
in your network and all are from different vendor please configure the authentication method to 'Auto'.
The system will auto detect the authentication method of the station.
10. What are 802.1x authentication type and which authentication type does ZyAIR 802.1x
embedded server support.
802.1x specify the following authentication type, and the ZyAIR's embedded 802.1x server only support
MD5/CHAP authentication.
1. MD5/CHAP
2. One time password
3. Generic Token Card
