3.1.4.2.4.3 WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) /
Pre-shared Key

Click on the Security link under the Wireless drop-down menu.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is designed to improve upon the security
features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed
to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP.
WPA provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity
Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm
and by adding an integrity checking feature which makes sure that keys
haven‟t been tampered with.

ESSID Selection : As this device supports multiple SSIDs, it is possible
to configure a different security mode for each SSID (profile). Select an
SSID from the drop-down list.

Broadcast SSID : Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down list.
This is the SSID broadcast feature. When this option is set to Enable,
your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of
your signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to
your network. When this is disabled, you must enter the Wireless
Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.

WMM : Choose to Enable or Disable WMM. This is the Quality of
Service (QoS) feature for prioritizing voice and video applications. This
option can be further configured in WMM under the Wireless drop-
down menu.

Encryption : Select WPA pre-shared key from the drop-down list.

WPA Type : Select TKIP, AES, or WPA2 Mixed. The encryption algorithm
used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption.
Note that, if the bridge uses the AES option, the bridge can associate
with the access point only if the access point is also set to use only AES.
