Encryption Algorithm.
Select between Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for the encryption algorithm.
Group Key Update Interval.
It defines the time interval in seconds for updating
a group key.
WPA2
: WPA2 is an enhanced version of WPA, and defines the 802.11i proto-
col.
Authentication Method.
Select the authentication method you would like to
use. You can choose between Pre-Shared Key and 802.1x.
Pre-Shared Key.
This entry appears only if you had selected this authentication
method. Enter your encryption key in the 'Pre-Shared Key' field. You can use ei-
ther an ASCII or a Hex value by selecting the value type in the combo-box pro-
vided.
Encryption Algorithm.
The encryption algorithm used for WPA2 is the Ad-
vanced Encryption Standard (AES).
Group Key Update Interval.
It defines the time interval in seconds for updating
a group key.
WPA and WPA2 Mixed Mode
: WPA and WPA2 is a mixed data encryption
method.
Authentication Method.
Select the authentication method you would like to
use. You can choose between Pre-Shared Key and 802.1x.

Group Key Update Interval.
It defines the time interval in seconds for updating
a group key.
802.1x WEP
: 802.1x WEP is a data encryption method utilizing a statically or
automatically defined key for wireless clients that use 802.1x for authentication
and WEP for encryption. You may define up to four keys but use only one at a
time.
Generate Keys Automatically.
Select this option to generate the encryption
keys automatically rather than entering them manually. The screen will refresh,
