3.2.3.2 WPA/WPA2 Encryption

Wi-Fi Protected Access

 (WPA) 

is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture, but offers additional 

protection via dynamic codes, which are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and also offers pre-shared keys 
(PSK) or extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for user authentication. However, a radius server is required for this. WPA2 is a 
development of WPA and uses a different encryption algorithm, advanced encryption standard (AES).

Select

 WPA Pre-shared Key

 under Encryption. Then, under WPA Unicast Cipher Suite, select WPA (TKIP) or WPA (AES).

Then you must select the

 Pre-shared Key Format.

 Select 

either 

Passphrase

 for a key with a length of at least 8 and 

max. 63 characters, whereby letters (A-Z), numbers and 
punctuation marks can be used, or 

Hex

 for a 64 character 

key, in which only numbers from 0-9 and 
letters from a-f can be used. The next step is entering a 
key, called a 

pre-shared-key

 (PSK). All clients which are to 

access the access point must know this character string.

Click 

Apply

 to save your settings. You must then restart the 

router for the settings to take effect. To do so, click 

Apply

 in 

the next window. The wireless network with encryption is 
available after you restart.

3.2.4 WPS Automatic confi guration

WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) is a function that makes the security confi guration of the Wireless LAN connection easier. In order to be 
able to use the function, the router/access point and the remote station (WLAN USB stick, PCI card or PCMCIA card) must have the 
WPS function. To carry out the security confi guration, proceed as follows:

The router/access point specifi es which encryption and which key is used. The encryption entered here applies to all users of the 
network. 

There are two methods:

a)   Confi guration using the button

 Press 

the 

WPS button

 on the router/access point. Within two minutes, you must press the 

PBC

 button on the 

WPS

 tab page in 

 

the WLAN adapter’s confi guration program. The connection is now established automatically.

b)   Pin code 

 

Make a note of the 

pin code

, which is displayed in the WLAN adapter’s confi guration program. Select the target network in the 

 

upper list and then click 

PIN

. Switch to the user interface of the router. If your router supports this method, you will fi nd an entry 

 

fi eld for the

 pin code

 in the WPS settings. Enter the code you noted earlier and start the transmission. The connection is now 

 established 

automatically.

If the connection is successful, a profi le is created, which is restored automatically when you reconnect.
