Wireless Protected Access or WPA is the latest wireless security enhancement that increases the
level of data protection for communicating over wireless networks. There are 2 modes of WPA, PSK
(pre-shared key) or Radius (803.1.x).
NOTE
: To use WPA you must have a Wireless Client adapter that supports WPA as well as a WPA
client.
For Windows XP users, you can download and install a WPA update from the Microsoft site.
Cypher Suite:
Only TKIP is supported
802.1X Authentication:
Requires a Radius server is configured in the 802.1x section.
Pre-shared Key (PSK) Authentication:
Uses a pre-shared key to do authentication. No Radius
server is required. The pre-shared key can be generated using with passphrase style or manually
defined with 64 HEX characters.
Group Key Re-keying:
This in the interval time period of renewing broadcast/multicast the
dynamic WPA key to each wireless client on your network.
NOTE
: When both WEP and WPA clients are allowed, the Group Key Re-keying function will
automatically be disabled.
