Security Settings - WPA-PSK
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if
possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The 256Bit encryption key is
derived from the PSK, and changes frequently.

Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key
derived from this key. Other Wireless Stations must use the
same key.
The encryption method is TKIP. Wireless Stations must
also use TKIP.
This refers to the key used for broadcast transmissions.
Enable this if you want the keys to be updated regularly.
This field determines how often the Group key is dynami-
cally updated. Enter the desired value.
If enabled, the Group key will be updated whenever any
member leaves the group or disassociates from the Access
Point.
The current status is displayed. This will always be "Dis-
abled", because Radius MAC Authentication is not
available with WPA-PSK. The Configure button for this
feature will also be disabled.
