Security Settings - WPA-PSK

Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes frequently.

Network Key

Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key derived

 

from this key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same key.

 

 

WPA Encryption

Select the desired option. Other Wireless Stations must use the

 

same method.

 

TKIP - Unicast (point-to-point) transmissions are encrypted

 

using TKIP, and multicast (broadcast) transmissions are not

 

encrypted.

 

TKIP + 64 bit WEP - Unicast (point-to-point) transmissions

 

are encrypted using TKIP, and multicast (broadcast)

 

transmissions are encrypted using 64 bit WEP.

 

TKIP + 128 bit WEP - Unicast (point-to-point)

 

transmissions are encrypted using TKIP, and multicast

 

(broadcast) transmissions are encrypted using 128 bit WEP.

 

AES - CCMP - CCMP is the most common sub-type of

 

AES (Advanced Encryption System). Most systems will
