DESCRIPTION

Security Level

Select

More Secure

to enable WPA(2)-PSK data encryption.

Security Mode

Select

WPA-PSK

or

WPA2-PSK

from the drop-down list box.

Pre-Shared Key

The encryption mechanisms used for

WPA/WPA2

and

WPA-PSK/

WPA2-PSK

are the same. The only difference between the two is that

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

uses a simple common password, instead of

user- specific credentials.

Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters or 64

hexadecimal digits.

WPA-PSK

Compatible

This field appears when you choose

WPA-PSK2

as the

Security Mode

.

Check this field to allow wireless devices using

WPA-PSK

security

mode to connect to your LTE Device. The LTE Device supports

WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK simultaneously.

Encryption

If the security mode is

WPA-PSK

, the encryption mode is set to

TKIP

to

enable Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security on your wireless

network.

If the security mode is

WPA-PSK2

and

WPA-PSK Compatible

is

disabled, the encryption mode is set to

AES

to enable Advanced

Encryption System (AES) security on your wireless network. AES

provides superior security to TKIP.

If the security mode is

WPA-PSK2

and

WPA-PSK Compatible

is

enabled, the encryption mode is set to

TKIPAES MIX

to allow both

TKIP and AES types of security in your wireless network.

5.2.3 WPA(2) Authentication

The WPA2 security mode is currently the most robust form of encryption for wireless networks.

It requires a RADIUS server to authenticate user credentials and is a full implementation the

security protocol. Use this security option for maximum protection of your network. However,

it is the least backwards compatible with older devices.

The WPA security mode is a security subset of WPA2. It requires the presence of a RADIUS

server on your network in order to validate user credentials. This encryption standard is slightly

older than WPA2 and therefore is more compatible with older devices.

Group Key

Update Timer

The

Group Key Update Timer

is the rate at which the RADIUS server

sends a new group key out to all clients.

If the value is set to "0", the update timer function is disabled.

Encryption

If the security mode is

WPA

, the encryption mode is set to

TKIP

to

enable Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security on your wireless

network.

If the security mode is

WPA2

, the encryption mode is set to

AES

to

enable Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on your wireless

network. AES provides superior security to TKIP.

5.3 The More AP Screen

The LTE Device can broadcast up to four wireless network names at the same time. This means

that users can connect to the LTE Device using different SSIDs. You can secure the connection

on each SSID profile so that wireless clients connecting to the LTE Device using different

SSIDs cannot communicate with each other.

This screen allows you to enable and configure multiple Basic Service Sets (BSSs) on the LTE

Device.

Click

Network Settings > Wireless

This is the index number of the entry.

Active

This field indicates whether this SSID is active. A yellow bulb signifies that

this SSID is active. A gray bulb signifies that this SSID is not active.

SSID

An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the LTE Device's

BSSs. The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which

a wireless device is associated.

This field displays the name of the wireless profile on the network. When a

wireless client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name that is

associate to this network must have same wireless security settings as the

LTE Device. After you select to use a security, additional options

appears in this screen.

Or you can select

5.4 The WPS Screen

Use this screen to configure WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) on your LTE Device.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to

configure security settings manually. Set up each WPS connection between two devices. Both

devices must support WPS. See

5.7.6 WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)

for more information about

WPS.

The LTE Device applies the security settings of the

SSID1

profile (see

5.2 The Wireless General

Screen

). If you want to use the WPS feature, make sure you have set the security mode of

SSID1

to

WPA-PSK

,

WPA2-PSK

or

No Security

.

Click

Network Setting > Wireless > WPS

. The following screen displays. Select
