DESCRIPTION
Choose WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down list box.
support WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK simultaneously.
Select the encryption type (AES or TKIP+AES) for data encryption.
Select AES if your wireless clients can all use AES.
Select TKIP+AES to allow the wireless clients to use either TKIP or AES.
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).
The 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 Group Key Update Timer is also
supported in WPA(2)-PSK mode. The Device default is 1800 seconds (30
minutes).
