Table 21 Wireless LAN: 802.1x/WPA for WPA2-PSK Protocol

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Key Management	Choose WPA2-PSKin this field.
Protocol
WPA Compatible	Check this box if you want your G-1000 to support WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK at
	the same time. This might reduce the performance of the device, however.
Pre-Shared Key	The encryption mechanisms used for WPA2 and WPA2-PSKare the same. The
	only difference between the two is that WPA2-PSKuses a simple common
	password, instead of user-specific credentials.
	Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
	spaces and symbols).
WPA Group Key	The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA2-
Update Timer	PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA2 key management)
	sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA2
	equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a
	WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the WPA Group Key Update Timer is also
	supported in WPA2-PSK mode. The G-1000 default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
Apply	Click Apply to save your changes back to the G-1000.
Reset	Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.

6.8 Configuring RADIUS

A RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In user Service) server enables user authentication, authorization and accounting. Use RADIUS if you want to authenticate users using an external server.

The RADIUS screen allows you to specify the authentication and accounting servers and to enable and disable them.
