WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
WPA-PSK is a 256-bit data encryption method that can automatically change the key
WPA2-PSK is a more secure version of WPA-PSK, and it supports the IEEE 802.11
standard.
WPA Encryption is algorithms for selecting the WPA data encryption. There are three
algorithms: TKIP, AES, and TKIP+AES.
WPA Pre-Shared Key: You can enter 64-character hexadecimal value or 8–63-char
ASCII value as the key. The ASCII value contains all characters that can be entered
through the PC keyboard, and the hexadecimal value contains numbers of 0–9
characters of A–F. For example, you can enter the ASCII value of 1234abcde as the key.
Network Key Rotation Interval: It is used to set how long a network key is
dynamically changed. By default, it is 0. To disable this function, you can set the value to
0 or Null .
