WPA-Mixed
Security: Select encryption method (WEP, WEP / WPA2 Enterprise, WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK, or none) and
encryption algorithm (AES or TKIP).
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a data encryption protocol for 802.11 wireless networks
which scrambles all data packets transmitted between the Access Point and
the wireless clients associated with it. Both the Access Point and the wireless client must use the same
WEP key for data encryption and decryption.
o
Mode: Select Open System or Shared Key.
o
WEP Key: Select the WEP Key you wish to use.
o
Input Type: ASCII: Regular Text or HEX. Select the key type. Your available options are ASCII
and HEX.

ASCII Key: You can choose upper and lower case alphanumeric characters and
special symbols such as @ and #.

HEX Key: You can choose to use digits from 0~9 and letters from A~F. Select the bit-
length of the encryption key to be used in the WEP connection. Your available options
are: 64, 128, and 152-bit password lengths.
o
Key Length: Select the desired option and ensure the wireless clients use the same setting.
Your choices are: 64, 128, and 152-bit password lengths.
o
Key1/2/3/4: Enter the Key value or values you wish to use.
WPA / WPA2 Enterprise: WPA and WPA2 are Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE 802.11i standards, which include
AES and TKIP mechanisms.
o
Type: Select the WPA type to use. Available options are Mixed, WPA and WPA2. Choose
Mixed if your network has a mixture of older clients that only support WPA and TKIP, and
newer client devices that support WPA2 and AES.
o
Encryption: Select the WPA encryption type you would like. Your available options are: Both,
TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES(Advanced Encryption Standard).
Note: Since TKIP is not permitted for 802.11n-based transmissions, setting the encryption
algorithm to TKIP when you are using an 802.11n or 802.11ac AP will cause the network to
operate in 802.11g mode.
o
RADIUS Server: Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server.
o
RADIUS Port: Enter the port number used for connections to the RADIUS server.
o
RADIUS Secret: Enter the secret required to connect to the Radius server.
o
Update Interval: Specify how often, in seconds, the group key changes. Select 0 to disable.
o
RADIUS Accounting: Enables or disables the accounting feature.
o
RADIUS Accounting Server: Enter the IP address of the RADIUS accounting server.
o
RADIUS Accounting Port: Enter the port number used for connections to the RADIUS
accounting server.
o
RADIUS Accounting Secret: Enter the secret required to connect to the RADIUS accounting
server.
o
Accounting Group Key Update Interval: Specify how often, in seconds, the accounting data
sends. The range is from 60~600 seconds.
WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK: WPA with PSK (Pre-shared key / Personal mode), designed for home and
small office networks that don't require the complexity of an 802.1X authentication server.
o
Type: Select the WPA-PSK type to use. Available options are Mixed, WPA-PSK and WPA2-
PSK. Choose Mixed if your network has a mixture of older clients that only support WPA and
TKIP, and newer client devices that support WPA2 and AES.
o
Encryption: Select the WPA encryption type you would like. Your available options are: Both,
TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES(Advanced Encryption Standard).
Note: Since TKIP is not permitted for 802.11n-based transmissions, setting the encryption
algorithm to TKIP when you are using an 802.11n or 802.11ac AP will cause the network to
operate in 802.11g mode.
o
WPA Passphrase: Enter the Passphrase you wish to use. If you are using the ASCII format,
the Key must be between 8~64 characters in length.
o
Group Key Update Interval: Specify how often, in seconds, the Group Key changes.
