WPA-Enterprise: This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless
clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the
Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to
allow this Gateway to authenticate users.
Authentication Timeout: Amount of time before a client will be required to re-authenticate.
RADIUS Server IP Address: The IP address of the authentication server.
RADIUS Server Port: The port number used to connect to the authentication server.
RADIUS Server Shared Secret: A pass-phrase that must match with the authentication server.
WPA/WPA2 mixed environment: For those WPA2 stations, they will use AES for unicast. For those
WPA stations, they will use TKIP for unicast. But for multicast all WPA and WPA2 stations have to use
the same key, and that will be TKIP, because WPA station only knows about TKIP, WPA2 is new
standard, so it is defined to backward support TKIP on multicast.

WPS

Enable: Enable the WPS feature.
Lock Wireless Security Settings: Locking the wireless security settings prevents the settings from
being changed by any new external registrar using its PIN. Devices can still be added to the wireless
network using WPS.
PIN Settings: A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to an existing network or
to create a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra
security, a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the
Administrator ("admin" account) can change or reset the PIN.
Current PIN: Shows the current value of the router's PIN.
Reset To WPS Default: Restore the default PIN of the router.
Generate New PIN: Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the router's PIN. You
can then copy this PIN to the user interface of the registrar.
The push button method can be used to allow wireless clients to connect to the
PBC Settings:
router without entering/remember any encryption keys. The user can use the PBC method by
pressing the WPS button on the side of the router or select the PBC option under
Wireless/WPS settings page and hit Apply.
