Use this screen to configure and enable WPA(2)-PSK authentication. Click Network > Wireless
LAN to display the AP screen. Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode list.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Mode Choose
WPA-PSK
or
WPA2-PSK
from the drop-down list box.
Encryption If the security mode is WPA-PSK , you can set the encryption mode to TKIP to enable
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security on your wireless network.
If the security mode is
WPA2-PSK
, you can set the encryption mode to
AES
to enable
Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on your wireless network. AES provides
superior security to TKIP.
If the security mode is WPA2-PSK and WPA Compatible is selected, you can set the
encryption mode to TKIP/AES to allow both TKIP and AES types of security in your
wireless network.
WPA Compatible This check box is available only when you select
WPA2-PSK
in the
Security Mode
field.
Select the check box to have both WPA-PSK wireless clients be able to communicate
with the Device even when the Device is using WPA2-PSK.
Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for
WPA(2)
and
WPA(2)-PSK
are the same. The
only difference between the two is that
WPA(2)-PSK
uses a simple common
password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces
and symbols).
WPA Group Key
Update Timer
The
Group Key Update Timer
is the rate at which the AP (if using
WPA(2)-PSK
key
management) or
RADIUS
server (if using WPA(2) key management) sends a new
group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA(2) equivalent of
automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic
basis.
