EnGenius Technologies Comprehensive Guide to Configuring Your EnGenius EAP9550 Network Hardware

Broadcast SSID: Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down list. This is the SSID broadcast feature. When this option is set to Enable, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to your network. When this is disabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.

WMM: Choose to Enable or Disable WMM. This is the Quality of Service (QoS) feature for prioritizing voice and video applications. This option can be further configured in WMM under the Wireless drop-down menu.

Encryption: Select WPA pre-shared key from the drop-down list.

WPA Type: Select TKIP, AES, or WPA2 Mixed. The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. Note that, if the bridge uses the AES option, the bridge can associate with the access point only if the access point is also set to use only AES.

Pre-shared Key Type: The Key Type can be passphrase or Hex format.

Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client.

￿Encryption: WPA RADIUS
