Earlier AP (RADIUS clients) use port 1945. The default value will be shown on this box. You can keep and use it.

￿RADIUS Key: A RADIUS Key is like a password, which is used between IAS and the specific RADIUS client to verify identity. Both IAS and the RADIUS client must be use the same RADIUS Key for successful communication to occur. Enter the RADIUS Key.

WPA/WPA2

For the WPA/WPA2 network Authentication, the settings that you can adjust including WPA/WPA2 Encryption, RADIUS Server, RADIUS Port, RADIUS Key, Group Key Rotation Interval, and WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval.

￿WPA/WPA2 Encryption: There are three types that you can choose, TKIP*, AES**, TKIP+AES.

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

**AES 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.
