WPA configuration

(See Figure 22)

Each configured SSID can support its own unique WPA configuration, which it does not need to share with the other SSIDs in the configuration set.

WPA Enable: Check this box if WPA is to be used to secure this SSID’s wireless access and transmissions.

WPA Mode: Select the desired WPA mode. The following choices are available under the dropdown menu:

WPA

WPA2 WPA2 only

Cipher Type: Select between the following:

TKIP

AES

TKIP and AES

PSK:Enter a valid PSK Pass phrase. Minimum 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters.

WPA Group Key:

Value in seconds after which the Group Key will be

Update Interval

refreshed.

 

 

Factory default:

3600 seconds (one every hour)

 

Note:

WPA-PSK with a TKIP/AES cipher can use for WPA

 

security without the presence of an 802.1X

 

authentication service.

With

this type of

 

implementation, the associated radios will

 

authenticate amongst themselves.

 

 

This type of WPA implementation is ideal for static

 

wireless deployment

such as

complexity associated with setting up a full 802.1X

 

authentication service.

WPA and TRIMAR APs in WDS mode

TRIMAR APs deployed in a WDS mesh cannot use WPA. All that is needed to configure TRIMAR AP to work within a mesh is that the WDS function be enabled and the MAC addresses of the other units in the same WDS mesh be made known to all radios operating within the same mesh.

SSIDs serves no function in a TRIMAR AP WDS deployment. This means that the individual TRIMAR APs within the WDS mesh can still use WPA security policies associated with the individual SSIDs. These SSIDs can be used with station units that are not immediate members of the WDS mesh.

TRIMAR APs set up as repeaters without a direct Ethernet connection with the network should not use WPA with an 802.1X authentication service.
