Wireless IAD User Manual

For WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

The WPA (WiFi-Protected Access) authentication is suitable for enterprises. It must be used in conjunction with an authentication server such as RADIUS to provide centralized access control and management. It can provide stronger encryption and authentication solution than none WPA modes.

Data Encryption:

Select the data encryption method for the WPA mode. There are three types that you can choose, TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES.

TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol) takes the original master key only as a starting point and derives its encryption keys mathematically from this master key. Then it regularly changes and rotates the encryption keys so that the same encryption key will never be used twice.

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) provides security between client workstations operating in ad hoc mode. It uses a mathematical ciphering algorithm that employs variable key sizes of 128, 192 or 256 bits.

TKIP+AES combine the features and functions of TKIP and AES.

WPA Group Rekey Interval: Enter the time for the WPA group rekey interval. The unit is second. With increasing rekey interval, user bandwidth requirement is reduced.

RADIUS Server IP Address, RADIUS

UDP Port, and RADIUS Shared
