ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point with RFID Support, WNDAP380R
Configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK
WPA-PSK, WPA-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK authentication use a pre-shared key
(PSK, also called a passphrase or a network key) and do not require authentication from a
RADIUS server.
The selections that are available from the Data Encryption drop-down menu depend on the
type of WPA-PSK authentication that you select from the Network Authentication drop-down
menu and are shown in the table that follows the figures.

AES
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2.
Note:
Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the WNDAP380R wireless
access point does not support WPA with AES.
TKIP + AES
The TKIP + AES encryption method is supported both for WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets
use TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients
use AES. For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data encryption
method.
