Wpa Radius - EnGenius 11N Wireless Gigabit Multi-Function Client Bridge User Manual

Multi-Function Gigabit Wireless-N Client Bridge Version 1.0
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: Select Passphrase from the drop-down list.
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.

Click on the Security link under the Wireless drop-down menu.
WPA encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon the
security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed to
work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides
improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which
scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity checking
feature which makes sure that keys haven't been tampered with.
This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless
clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to
authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary
to configure the RADIUS Server to allow this Gateway to authenticate users.
ESSID Selection: As this device supports multiple SSIDs, it is possible to configure
a different security mode for each SSID (profile). Select an SSID from the drop-down
list.
Broadcast SSID: Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down list. This is the SSID
broadcast feature.
When this option is set to Enable, your wireless network name is
