LABEL DESCRIPTION
Key Management
Protocol Choose WPA-PSK in this field.
Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only
difference between the two is that WPA-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 Mixed Mode The Prestige can operate in WPA Mixed Mode , which supports both clients running
WPA and clients running dynamic WEP key exchange with 802.1x in the same Wi-Fi
network.
Select the check box to activate WPA mixed mode. Otherwise, clear the check box and
configure the
Group Data Privacy field.
Group Data
Privacy Group Data Privacy allows you to choose TKIP (recommended) or WEP for broadcast
and multicast (“group”) traffic if the Key Management Protocol is WPA and WPA
Mixed Mode is disabled. WEP is used automatically if you have enabled WPA Mixed
Mode .
All unicast traffic is automatically encrypted by TKIP when WPA or WPA-PSK Key
Management Protocol is selected.
Authentication
Databases This field is only visible when WPA Mixed Mode is enabled.
