DESCRIPTION
This field is only available for WPA-PSK.
Select this option to have the IAD automatically generate an SSID and
pre-shared key. The SSID and Pre-Shared Key fields will not be
configurable when you select this option.
Choose WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down list box.
This field is only available for WPA2-PSK. Select this if you want the IAD
to support WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK simultaneously.
Select the encryption type (TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES) for data
encryption.
Select TKIP if your wireless clients can all use TKIP.
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 sends a new
group key out to all clients.
