WPA-PSK (TKIP) / WPA-PSK (AES)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
provides better security than
WEP keys. It does not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association
authentication, but you do have to enter a shared key for the authentication purpose. The
encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically.
There are two encryption types
TKIP
and
CCMP (AES)
. While CCMP provides better
security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be equipped with the hardware to
support it.
Pre-shared Key
: This is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that
both the WL-5460AP and the wireless client stations use the same key.
Group Key Life Time
: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the re-key
interval is time period that the system will change the group key periodically. The shorter
the interval is, the better the security is. The default is 300 sec.
