WM-AD configuration
4 Select WPA-PSK.
5 Select WPA v1.
If you select WPA v1, its subordinate Encryption drop-down menu is enabled.
The Encryption drop-down menu offers you the following two options:
Auto – If you click Auto, the Wireless AP advertises both TKIP and CCMP (counter mode
with cipher block chaining message authentication code protocol). CCMP is an IEEE 802.11i
encryption protocol that uses the encryption cipher AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
Auto is the default.
TKIP only – If you click TKIP only, the Wireless AP advertises TKIP as an available
encryption protocol. It will not advertise CCMP.
6 Select WPA v2.
If you select WPA v2, its subordinate Encryption drop-down menu is enabled.
The Encryption drop-down menu offers you the following two options:
Auto – If you click Auto, the Wireless AP advertises both TKIP and CCMP (counter mode
with cipher block chaining message authentication code protocol). CCMP is an IEEE 802.11i
encryption protocol that uses the encryption cipher AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
Auto is the default.
AES only – If you click AES, the Wireless AP advertises CCMP as an available encryption
protocol. It will not advertise TKIP.
7 To enable re-keying after a time interval, select Broadcast re-key interval.
If this feature is not selected, the broadcast encryption key is never changed and the Wireless AP will
always use the same broadcast key for broadcast/multicast transmissions. This will compromise the
security for wireless communications.
8 In the Broadcast re-key interval text box, type the time interval after which you want the broadcast
encryption key to be changed automatically. The default is 3600.
