WPA Security
This section allows you to configure wireless encryption to prevent unwelcome parties from
reading your traffic. Authentication can also be configured to block outsiders from accessing your
network.
Enable WPA Security
: Tick the box to enable the following suite of Encryption and
Authentication features. Enabling WPA Security will
disable
the non-WPA security.
PSK:
Pre-shared Key. PSK mode is less secure than EAP as it does not use a RADIUS Server.
To configure, key in an 8-64 character PassPhrase onto both ExpressPort adapter and the Client.
EAP:
Extensible Authentication Protocol. When chosen, the RADIUS server is used for
authentication between ExpressPort adapter and Client. To configure, use the “Edit Security
Server Settings” feature.
Security Server
: This is to edit the RADIUS Server.
PassPhrase
: Key in the 8-64 character for PSK.
Cipher Type
: Choose Auto, TKIP or AES
Group Key Update Interval
: Specifies the interval in milliseconds
Security Server Settings
Non-WPA Security
RADIUS Server
: Enter
the IP Address of the
RADIUS Server (for
802.1x authentication
purposes). This is used only when you have a RADIUS Server and want to use it for
authenticating the Wireless Clients. Almost all homes and many offices do not have a RADIUIS
Server. These settings are for advanced users only.
RADIUS Port
:
Enter the port number of the RADIUS Server.
RADIUS Secret
: Enter the Shared Secret of the RADIUS Server. (Only if 802.1x protocol is used)
2.4GHz Key Source
: Specify the location of the key storage. (Only if 802.1x is used.)
If you are
using PSK or Pre-shared key, select local.
