3e-525A Wireless Access Point
WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's
802.11i standard upon its completion. However, it is expected to remain
compatible. For those organizations already making the transition to the
new AES algorithm, WPA uses a form of AES (AES-CCMP) agreed-upon
by the WiFi Alliance 802.11i working team.
If you wish to use WPA on the 3e-525A, enable either WPA Pre-shared
Key Settings or WPA 802.1x Settings.
If you are a SOHO user, selecting pre-shared key means that you
don't have the expense of installing a Radius Server. Simply input up to
63 character / numeric / hexadecimals in the Passphrase field. If your
clients use WPA-TKIP, select TKIP as encryption type. If your clients use
WPA-AES, select AES-CCMP. If a combination, select AUTO.
For highest security, select the lowest re-keying interval.
As an alternative, for business applications who have installed Radius
Servers, select WPA 802.1x and input the Primary and Backup Radius
Server settings. Use of Radius Server for key management and authenti-
cation requires that you have installed a separate certification system and
each client must have been issued an authentication certificate.
Once you have selected the options you will use, click Apply.
