Configuring WPA-PSK
Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client.
Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or above include the client software that
supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions
on configuring WPA settings.
To configure WPA-PSK:
1. From the Wir eless Security Type section, select WPA. WPA with PSK will be selected by
default.
2. Select the Data Encryption mode: AES or TKIP (TKIP is the default).
3. Enter the Passphrase (Network Key). The 256-bit key used for encryption is generated from
the Passphrase .
4. Enter the Key Lifetime (in minutes). This determines how often the encryption key is changed.
(Shorter periods give better security, but adversely affect performance.)
5. Click Apply to save your settings.
Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure WEP settings, you will be
disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to
match the new settings or access the wireless firewall from a wired computer
to make any further changes.
