LABEL
Choose WPA in this field.
Key Management
Protocol
The Prestige can operate in WPA Mixed Mode, which supports both clients running
WPA Mixed Mode
WPA and clients running dynamic WEP key exchange with 802.1x in the same Wi-Fi
network.
Select the check box to activate WPA mixed mode. Otherwise, clear the check box and
configure the Group Data Privacy field.
Group Data Group Data Privacy allows you to choose TKIP (recommended) or WEP for broadcast
Privacy and multicast ("group") traffic if the Key Management Protocol is WPA and WPA
Mixed Mode is disabled. WEP is used automatically if you have enabled WPA Mixed
Mode.
All unicast traffic is automatically encrypted by TKIP when WPA or WPA-PSK Key
Management Protocol is selected.
WPA Group Key The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK key
Update Timer management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a new group
key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA 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-PSK mode. The
Prestige default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
Authentication When you configure Key Management Protocol to WPA, the Authentication
Databases Databases must be RADIUS Only. You can only use the Local User Database Only
with 802.1x Key Management Protocol.
