Security Settings - WPA-PSK
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should
be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The
256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes frequently.

Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key derived
from this key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same key.
WPA Encryption
The encryption method is TKIP. Wireless Stations must also use
TKIP.
Group Key Update
This refers to the key used for broadcast transmissions. Enable
this if you want the keys to be updated regularly.

This field determines how often the Group key is dynamically
updated. Enter the desired value.
Update Group key

terminates
If enabled, the Group key will be updated whenever any member
leaves the group or disassociates from the Access Point.
Radius MAC
Authentication
The current status is displayed. This will always be "Disabled",
because Radius MAC Authentication is not available with WPA-
PSK. The
Configure
button for this feature will also be disabled.
UAM
The current status is displayed. This will always be "Disabled",
because UAM is not available with WPA-PSK. The
Configure
button for this feature will also be disabled.
