2.4.3 WPA
Definition
WPA Enterprise is a part of the Wi-Fi Protected Access standard. In this mode,
authentication is done by a dedicated authentication server, which is normally not
available for residential use.
RADIUS Server
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is a protocol for carrying
authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a Network
Access Server which desires to authenticate its links and a shared Authentication
Server.
Configuring WPA on the
SpeedTouch™

The time for the WPA group rekey interval in seconds.
RADIUS Server IP Address :

RADIUS UDP Port :
Port 1812 is the reserved RADIUS-authentication port described in
RFC2138. Earlier RADIUS clients use port 1945.
RADIUS Shared Secret :
A share secret is like a password, which is used between Internet
Authentication Service (IAS) and the specific RADIUS client to verify
identity. Both IAS and the RADIUS client must be use the same shared
secret for successful communication to occur. Enter the words for the
share secret.
Data Encryption (WPA) :
Select the data encryption for the WPA mode. Following encryption
types are available:
TKIP :
The Temporal Key Integration Protocol (TKIP) takes the original
master key only as a starting point and derives its encryption keys
mathematically from this master key. Then it regularly changes and
rotates the encryption keys so that the same encryption key will be
never used twice.
AES:
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides security
between client workstations operating in ad hoc mode. It uses a
mathematical ciphering algorithm that employs variable key sizes
of 128, 192 or 256 bits.
TKIP+AES:
Combines the features and functions of TKIP and AES.
