Wireless Setup WPA PSK Option
WPA security changes encryption keys after a specified amount of time. This is the most secure option
for wireless networks. This section assumes you currently have the "Wireless Security Configuration"
window displayed on your computer. To use the WPA option:
1.
Select the WPA-PSK option from the Security Mode drop-down menu.
2.
Click Next. This displays the "Wireless WPA Configuration" window.
3.
The "Wireless WPA Configuration" window is used to configure the algorithm, shared key, and key
renewal options. Select one of the following options from the Algorithms drop-down menu:
• TKIP
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is a more powerful security protocol than WEP. This option
verifies the security configuration after encryption keys are determined, synchronizes changing of
the unicast encryption key for each frame, and determines a unique starting unicast encryption
key for each pre-shared key authentication.
• AES
Advanced Encryption Standard supports a private key algorithm that ranges from 128 to 256 bits.
4.
Type a key in Shared Key. The shared key is used to generate a dynamic encryption key for
Gateway security.
5.
Type a numeric value (in seconds) in Group Key Renewal to specify time to lapse between
changing the key. The minimum time value is 30.
6.
Click Next, and the "Finish" window is displayed.
