LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Mode Choose WPA or WPA2 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 or WPA2 in the Security
Mode field.
Select the check box to have both WPA-PSK and WPA wireless clients be able to
communicate with the Device even when the Device is using WPA2-PSK or WPA2.
ReAuthentication
Timer
Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in order
to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds.
Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the
reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
Idle Timeout The Device automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network after a
period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the username and password
again before access to the wired network is allowed.
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.
