WPA

Wi-Fi Protected Access.

 

• Enabled: WPA is enabled.

 

• Disabled: WPA is disabled.

 

Wi-Fi Protected Access provides standards-based, interoperable security

 

to strongly increase the level of data protection and access control for a

 

wireless LAN. To improve data encryption, WPA uses the Temporal Key

 

Integrity Protocol (TKIP). To strengthen user authentication, WPA

 

implements 802.1x and the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

 

WPA supports two basic solutions: Enterprise and Home/SOHO. In an

 

enterprise environment with IT resources, Wi-Fi Protected Access is used

 

in conjunction with an authentication server such as RADIUS to provide

 

centralized access control and management. In a home/SOHO

 

environment, WPA runs in a special home mode called Pre-Shared Key

 

(PSK) which uses manually-entered keys or passwords to provide security.

 

PSK is designed to be easy to set up for the home or small office user.

 

Note: WPA/802.1x and WPA/PSK parameters can only be

 

entered through the EWS.

The HP PSC supports three types of interfaces:

USB: an external bus standard that supports data transfer rates up to12 Mbps, as well as plug-and-play installation and hot plugging.

802.3: a specification that applies to wired local area networks (LANs). 100Base-T (or Fast Ethernet), supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps.

802.11b: an extension to the 802.11 wireless specification that applies to wireless LANs and provides transfer rates up to 11 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
