PSK is used for an initial check of credentials only. This security mode is backwards-
compatible for wireless clients that support the original WPA.
If you select WPA Personal as the Security Mode, additional fields display, as
shows.

Figure 12. WPA Personal Configuration

Table 13 describes the configuration options for the WPA Personal security mode.

Field Description
WPA Versions Select the types of client stations you want to support:
•
•
•
Cipher Suites Select the cipher suite you want to use:
•
•
•
Both TKIP and AES clients can associate with the access point. WPA
clients must have one of the following to be able to associate with the AP:
•
•
Clients not configured to use
with the AP.
Key The pre-shared key is the shared secret key for
of at least 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters.
NOTE: After you configure the security settings, you must click Update to apply the
changes and to save the settings. Changing some access point settings might
cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless
clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change
access point settings when WLAN traffic is low.
WPA. If all client stations on the network support the original
none support the newer WPA2, then select WPA.
WPA2. If all client stations on the network support WPA2, we suggest
using WPA2 which provides the best security per the
standard.
WPA and WPA2. If you have a mix of clients, some of which support
WPA2 and others which support only the original WPA, select both of
the check boxes. This lets both WPA and WPA2 client stations
associate and authenticate, but uses the more robust WPA2 for clients
who support it. This WPA configuration allows more interoperability,
at the expense of some security.
