Authentication-
WPA
(Wi-Fi Protected Access) is selected.
802.1x
Lifetime-
Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and authenticates users onto
the wireless network. WPA uses stronger security than WEP
and is based on a key that changes automatically at a regular
interval.This mode requires the inclusion of a RADIUS server in
your network.
802.1x Authentication is a first line of defense against intrusion.
In the Authentication process the server verifies the identity of
the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar cli-
ents are denied access.
Select 5, 15, 30 minutes, or 1 or 8 hours, or 1 day for the authen-
tication period. After this period expires, a new key will auto-
matically be generated.

Radius Server 2-
