ProSafe 802.11g Wireless VPN Firewall FVG318 Reference Manual

•Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2). The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA and WPA2 make it virtually impossible to compromise. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited.

–WPA with PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key). WPA-PSK uses TKIP standard encryption.

–WPA2 with PSK. WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients support WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption, and enter the WPA passphrase (Network key).

–WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP encryption) or WPA2 (with AES encryption). If selected, encryption must be TKIP + AES.

–WPA with Radius. This version of WPA requires the use of a Radius server for authentication. Each user (Wireless Client) must have a “user” login on the Radius Server—normally done via a digital certificate. Also, this device must have a “client” login on the Radius server. Data transmissions are encrypted using a key which is automatically generated.

–WPA2 with RADIUS. WPA2 is a later version of WPA. Only select this if all clients support WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption, and configure the RADIUS Server Settings. Each user (Wireless Client) must have a “user” login on the Radius Server—normally done via a digital certificate. Also, this device must have a “client” login on the RADIUS server. Data transmissions are encrypted using a key which is automatically generated.

–WPA and WPA2 with RADIUS. This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with AES encryption) or WPA2 (with TKIP encryption). If selected, encryption must be TKIP+AES. You must also configure the RADIUS Server Settings
