This option uses Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK).
Pre-Shared Key:
The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 characters in ASCII format
at both ends of the wireless connection. The pass-phrase cannot be shorter
than 8 characters. The pass-phrase is used to generate session keys that
are unique for each wireless client.
The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP
Cipher Type:
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per packet key generation and
is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure
block based encryption.
Group Key Update
The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and multicast
Interval:
data is changed.
WPA-Enterprise

have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through
the Gateway. Furthermore, the RADIUS Server may need to be configured to allow this Gateway
to authenticate users.
Cipher Type:
The method in which the pre-shared key is changed.
Group Key Update
The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and multicast
Interval:
data is changed.
Authentication
Amount of time before a client is required to re-authenticate.
Timeout:
RADIUS Server IP
The IP address of the authentication server.
Address:
RADIUS Server Port:
The port number used to connect to the authentication server.
RADIUS Server Shared
A passphrase that must much with the authentication server.
Secret:
MAC Address
If this is selected then the user will need to connect from the same computer
Authentication:
whenever logging into the wireless network.
