
WPA Type: Select TKIP, AES, or WPA2 Mixed. The encryption algorithm used to secure the
data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key
generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block
based encryption. Note that, if the bridge uses the AES option, the bridge can associate with the
access point only if the access point is also set to use only AES.

Pre-shared Key Type: The Key Type can be passphrase or Hex format.

Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless
connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be
of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate
session keys that are unique for each wireless client.
