STEP 3 (Optional) Press the Right Arrow key under Security Mode to set the security options:

• WEP—Wired Equivalent Privacy: You must enter the Default Transmit Key, Key Type

and Length, and the keys.

• WPA PSK or WPA2 PSK: You must enter the Cipher Type (TKIP or AES CCMP) and

the shared key.

• WPA/WPA2 Enterprise: This type of authentication requires some advanced expertise

because it involves setting up a radius server for authentication and, in some cases,

creation of certificates for both the radius server and the phone. See

You must enter the Cipher Type (TKIP or AES CCMP) and the EAP Type:

- TTLS—Enter the anonymous ID, choose whether the phone should check for the

server certificate, choose the TTLS Inner Protocol (MSCHV2, MSCHAP, PAP,
