WPA TKIP on AIRONET 1560 rel 8.5.140

[l.buschi]

Hi, 

I finally realized my meshed network with aironet 1560 APs.

I have a problem: i have some barcode scanners that supports only WPA+TKIP security.

I configured a WLAN with WPA2/AES + WPA/TKIP+AES but my clients seems not to work.

Does 1560 support WPA/TKIP?

Any ideas?

In case of no TKIP support, which would be the best temporary solution? (I was thinking about no security + mac filtering, I tested and it works, I would secure my wlan behind a firewall).

Reading data sheet it seems that 1560 serie supports legacy TKIP, where am I going wrong?

tks

In this case I suggest you create a new SSID, only for the barcode scanners, with their own IP network/VLAN. As TKIP offers barely any security, you can directly go with no security, that will also solve some other possible issues you might encounter. Truth be told, I would replace the scanners.
