LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Security Mode
Choose
WPA-PSK
or
WPA2-PSK
or
WPAPSKMixed
from the drop-down list
box.
Select
WPAPSK Mixed
if you want the ZyXEL Device to support WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK simultaneously.
Pre-Shared Key
The encryption mechanisms used for
WPA(2)
and
WPA(2)-PSK
are the same.
The only difference between the two is that
WPA(2)-PSK
uses 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
Update Timer
The
WPA Group Key Update Timer
is the rate at which the AP (if using
WPA(2)-
PSK
key management) or
RADIUS
server (if using WPA(2) key management)
sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA(2)
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
WPA(2)-PSK
mode. The ZyXEL Device default is
1800
seconds (30
minutes).
