User Guide
Pre-Shared Key – WPA stations share a pre-shared key (string format) with the Router and do
not authenticate with the RADIUS server.
802.1x – WPA stations authenticate with the RADIUS server using EAP-TLS over 802.1x, a
standard for passing extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for authentication purposes. EAP
is used to communicate authentication information between the supplicant and the authentication
server. With 802.1x, EAP messages are packaged in Ethernet frames, rather than using and PPP.
Pre-Authentication
Factory Default = Disabled
To Enable this feature, click the box (a check mark will appear in the box).
WPA Pre-Shared Key
The WPA key can be either 8 to 63 text (ASCII) characters or 64 hexadecimal (Hex) characters.
The only allowable hexadecimal characters are: A-F and 0-9.
Encryption Algorithm
Factory Default = TKIP
Select the encryption algorithm you want to use (TKIP, AES, or TKIP and AES).
TKIP: Select this option to enable the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol for data encryption.
AES: Select this option to enable the Advanced Encryption Standard for data encryption.
TKIP and AES: Select this option to enable the Router to accept TKIP and AES encryption.
Group Key Update
Interval (in seconds)
The number of seconds between rekeying the WPA group key. A value of zero means that
rekeying is disabled.
After you have selected WPA as the security type, select the desired authentication method from the
Authentication
Method
drop-down list.
