DESCRIPTION
Choose WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK or WPAPSKMixed from the drop-down list box.
Select WPAPSK Mixed if you want the ZyXEL Device to support WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK simultaneously.
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 WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA(2)-
PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA(2) key management)
sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA(2)
equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a
WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the WPA Group Key Update Timer is also
supported in WPA(2)-PSK mode. The ZyXEL Device default is 1800 seconds (30
minutes).
