WPA Pre-Shared Key

There are two encryption options for WPA Pre-

 

Shared Key, TKIP and AES. TKIP stands for Tempo-

 

ral Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP utilizes a stronger

 

encryption method and incorporates Message Integri-

 

ty Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.

 

AES stands for Advanced Encryption System, which

 

utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data encryption.

 

To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, enter a password in the

 

WPA Shared Key field between 8 and 63 characters

 

long. You may also enter a Group Key Renewal time

 

between 0 and 99,999 seconds. The default value is

 

1800 seconds. When the group key renewal time ex-

 

pired, the gateway will change the wireless secret key

 

automatically to enhance the security of the wireless.

WPA RADIUS

WPA RADIUS uses an external RADIUS server to

 

perform user authentication. To use WPA RADIUS,

 

choose Auto, TKIP or AES for the WPA algorism,

 

enter the IP address of the RADIUS server, the

 

RADIUS Port (default is 1812) and the shared secret

 

from the RADIUS server.
