If you typed more than one key, click the key to use as the
default key from the Key Index drop-down list.
The Firebox X Edge can use only one key at a time. If you select a key
other than the first key in the list, you must also set your wireless client
to use the same key.
WPA-PSK authentication
The encryption options for WPA-PSK authentication are TKIP, AES,
and Auto. WPA-PSK only operates correctly if you are using Win-
dows XP Service Pack 2 or higher or have installed a driver for your
operating system that supports PSK.
We recommend that you set the WPA-PSK encryption option to
Auto to have the Firebox accept TKIP and AES settings.

Configuring wireless clients to use MUVPN

To make wireless computers authenticate as MUVPN clients:
1
To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the
browser address bar, and the IP address of the Edge trusted
interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1.
2
From the navigation bar, select Network > Wireless and click
the Security tab.
3
Select the check box Require encrypted MUVPN connections
for wireless clients.
If you use WEP/WPA encryption and use encrypted MUVPN at the same
time, network speeds will decrease.
4
Click Submit.

Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address

You can control access to the Firebox®X Edge Wireless by computer
hardware (MAC) address. If this feature is enabled, and the MAC
address of a computer that tries to connect to the Firebox X Edge
Wireless is not included in this configuration, the connection fails.
When you restrict wireless access by MAC address, it is possible that
a hacker can get access to the wireless network by spoofing an
allowed MAC address. Use authentication and encryption together
