If "WPA" is selected, the screen will look like the following example.
Data – WPA Screen
Security WPA
System
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more
secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA is the version
of WPA, which does NOT require a Radius Server on your LAN.
Passphrase (PSK) Enter the Keyword key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived
from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same
network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
This determines how often the encryption key is changed. You can
Key Lifetime
change the default value if desired.
Encryption The WPA standard allows different encryption methods to be used.
Select the desired option. Wireless Stations must use the same en-
cryption method.
Use the radio buttons to select the default key.
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the
same key values.
Keys must be entered in Hex.
Hex characters are the digits (0 ~ 9) and the letters A ~ F.
Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase
field
Click the "Generate Key" button.
If encryption strength is set to 64 bit, then each of the four key
fields will be populated with key values. If encryption strength is
set to 128 bit, then only the selected WEP key field will be given a
key value.
