WPA Authentication Mode

There are 2 types of authentication mode for WPA.

user authentication. To use WPA RADIUS, enter the IP address of the

RADIUS server, the RADIUS port (default is 1812) and the shared secret

from the RADIUS server. Please refer to “Authentication RADIUS Server”

setting below for RADIUS setting. The WPA algorithm is selected between

Pre-Shared Key authentication is based on a shared

Key, select key format and enter a password in the “Pre-Shared Key Format”

and “Pre-Shared Key” setting respectively. Please refer to “Pre-Shared Key

Format” and “Pre-Shared Key” setting below.

4.2.5

WPS

Although home Wi-Fi networks have become more and more popular, users still have

trouble with the initial set up of network. This obstacle forces users to use the open

security and increases the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, The Wi-Fi Protected Setup

(WPS) is designed to ease set up of security-enabled Wi-Fi networks and subsequently

network management.

The largest difference between WPS-enabled devices and legacy devices is that users do

not need the knowledge about SSID, channel and security settings, but they could still surf

in a security-enabled Wi-Fi network.

This device supports Push Button method and PIN method for WPS. The following sub-

paragraphs will describe the function of each item. The webpage is as below.

Description

Disable WPS

Check to disable the Wi-Fi protected Setup.

WPS Status

When AP’s settings are factory default (out of box), it is set to open security and

un-configured state. “WPS Status” will display it as “UnConfigured”. If it already

shows “Configured”, some registrars such as Vista WCN will not configure AP.

Users will need to go to the “Backup/Restore” page and click “Reset” to reload

factory default settings.

Self-PIN Number

“Self-PIN Number” is AP’s PIN. Whenever users want to change AP’s PIN, they

could click “Regenerate PIN” and then click “ Apply Changes”. Moreover, if users

want to make their own PIN, they could enter four-digit PIN without checksum

and then click “ Apply Changes”. However, this would not be recommended since

the registrar side needs to be supported with four-digit PIN.

Push Button Configuration

Clicking this button will invoke the PBC method of WPS. It is only used when AP

acts as a registrar.

Client PIN Number

It is only used when users want their station to join AP’s network. The length of

PIN is limited to four or eight numeric digits. If users enter eight-digit PIN with

checksum error, there will be a warning message popping up. If users insist on

this PIN, AP will take it.

Function buttons in this page:

Regenerate PIN

Click to regenerate the Self-PIN Number.
