ONFIGURING THE
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines temporal key integrity protocol
(TKIP) and 802.1X mechanisms. It provides dynamic key encryption and
802.1X authentication service. The Barricade supports both WPA and
WPA2.
WPA/WPA2 is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of
data protection and access control for existing wireless LAN. Matching
authentication and encryption methods must be set up on your Barricade
and wireless client devices to use WPA/WPA2. To use WPA, your wireless
network cards must be equipped with software that supports WPA. A
security patch from Microsoft is available for free download (for XP only).
