Security Settings - WPA and WPA2 with Radius 

EITHER WPA or WPA2 require a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authenti-
cation according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using EITHER 
WPA or WPA2 standard. 

 

Figure 19: WPA and WPA2 with Radius Wireless Security Screen 

Data - WPA and WPA2 with Radius Screen  

WPA and WPA2 with Radius 

WPA Encryption 

The encryption method is TKIP for WPA, and AES for WPA2. 

Group Key Update 

This refers to the key used for broadcast transmissions. Enable 
this if you want the keys to be updated regularly. 

Key Lifetime 

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

Update Group key 
when any membership 
terminates 

If enabled, the Group key will be updated whenever any member 
leaves the group or disassociates from the Access Point.
