WPA-PSK
is also known as WPA-Preset-Key. This implementation is more secure than WEP as
the encryption is automatically changed periodically. To configure this feature, just key in a 8-63
ASCII character or 64 HEX character pass-phrase for both the Router and Cards.
Cipher
: You can choose to use TKIP or AES for the cipher type.

WPA

ccess) is a standard where the Wireless Card has to authenticate to a
RADIUS Server, through the Access Point. The Server can also manage the encryption keys
such that they are changed dynamically. You need to have a RADIUS Server to be able to use
this feature.
RADIUS Server
: Enter the IP Address and the port of the RADIUS Server.
Shared Secret
: Enter the Shared Secret of the RADIUS Server.
Confirm Source
: Enter the Shared Secret again to confirm.
Wireless > Advance Setting
This page allows you to configure the advance wireless setting of the Router.
Data Rate (Mbps):
You can set the wireless data rate from the available list or choose Best to
allow the Router to choose the most appropriate data rate. When Best is used, the Router will
determine the optimal data rate according to the environment.
Transmit Power
: This adjust the transmit power of the antenna. Sometimes, it is useful to
decrease the coverage range of each Router, so that more Routers can be located together
without interfering one another.
Preamble
: Choose Short Preamble or Long Preamble. Most manufacturers implement long
preambles. Even if there is a mismatch between the Router and the card, they can still connect
well and the mismatch may not be noticeable to most users. Do not change this setting without
seeking advice.
