Descriptions

 

 

 

 

 

 

WPA-PSK is an extra-strong encryption where encryption keys are

 

 

 

 

 

automatically changed (called rekeying) and authenticated between

 

 

 

 

 

devices after a specified period of time, or after a specified number of

 

 

 

 

 

packets has been transmitted.

 

 

 

 

WPA-PSK

 

WPA-PSK is far superior to WEP and provides stronger protection for

 

 

 

 

 

the home or SOHO users. The process used to generate the encryption

 

 

 

 

 

key is very rigorous and the re-keying (or key changing) is done very

 

 

 

 

 

quickly. This stops even the most determined hacker from gathering

 

 

 

 

 

enough data to break the encryption.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key Entry Method

 

Key entry method can be HEX or ASCII. To associate with the airPoint

 

 

 

Nexus device, this value should be set to ASCII.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Passphrase

 

This key is used by the client to become authenticated with the airPoint

 

 

 

 

Nexus or any third party WPA capable device.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cipher

 

This can be set to TKIP or AES

 

 

 

 

 

Note: AES is only supported in 3416-03 model.
