WPA Pre-shared key:, The WPA Pre-shared Key authentication
standard uses a password or “ key” between 8 and 32 characters. This
encryption key is changed after every dialog box using the Temporary
Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which allows users to change keys based
on dialog box and automatically synchronize keys between devices on
the network. The TKIP encryption algorithm is stricter than the one
used by WEP but is based on the same standard.
WPA: The 802.1x authentication protocol, allows users to authenticate
wireless network access through a RADIUS Server and is a required by
WPA standard. If no RADIUS Server exists in your network environment,
you still can use WPA through the use of WPA Pre-shared Key.
WEP Key
The AirCruiser G supports two WEP standards:
64-bit,152-bit
. Select
either
64-bits
or
152-bits
from the drop-down list activate WEP
encryption. The
64-bits
encryption uses 40 bits as a secret key,
(user-defined) and the remaining 24 bits are reserved. The
128-bits
encryption uses 104 bits as a secret key, (user-defined) and the
remaining 24 bits are reserved.
WPA Re-key
Enabling the requirement for WPA rekeying of a Passphrase for
increased security. Default is
disable
.
WEP Re-key Timer
Specify time (in minutes) for expiration of the current WPA Key.
WPA PSK Passphrase
The Passphrase must be between 8 and 64 characters.
WPA PSK Re-key
A user without a RADIUS server, may specify generating a new WPA
PSK key more frequently than each time he connects to the network.
WPA PSK Re-key Timer
Specify time (in minutes) for expiration of the current WPA PSK key
