Securing Your Wireless Network with Encryption Keys
If you choose WPA Personal (also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access-PreShared Key)
as the network authentication method, you can secure your network by encrypting
all traffic using a pre-shared dynamic key. The following security methods are
described:
WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal
Mixed WPA2 Personal/WPA Personal
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
Mixed WPA/WPA2 Enterprise

enable this function, the system will automatically use your serial number as the
pre-shared key for WPA Authentication.

In the WPA Pre-Shared Key field, enter a shared Key (8-63 characters). The
system will periodically generate a dynamic key based on the shared key.
7
In the WPA Group Rekey Interval field, enter the group key renewal time period
(in seconds). This time defines how often the dynamic key is regenerated
8
In the WPA Encryption field, select the encryption from the drop-down list. You
have the option of choosing TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), AES
(Advanced Encryption System), or both. Typically AES is seen to be a more
reliable form of encryption.
