The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Cipher Type Select an encryption cipher type from the list.
• auto - This automatically chooses the best available cipher based
on the cipher in use by the wireless client that is attempting to
make a connection.
• tkip - This is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol encryption
method added later to the WEP encryption protocol to further
secure. Not all wireless clients may support this.
• aes - This is the Advanced Encryption Standard encryption
method. It is a more recent development over TKIP and
considerably more robust. Not all wireless clients may support this.
Group Key
Update Timer Enter the interval (in seconds) at which the AP updates the group WPA
encryption key.
Pre-
Authentication This is available when the profile is set to use wpa2 or wpa2-mix
and 802.1x. Enable or Disable pre-authentication to allow the AP to
send authentication information to other APs on the network, allowing
connected wireless clients to switch APs without having to re-
authenticate their network connection.
