User`s guide

802.1x allows users to leverage a RADIUS server to do association authentications. You

can also enable dynamic WEP keys (64, 128, 152-bit) to have data encryption. Here you

do not have to enter the WEP key manually because it will be generated automatically

and dynamically.

Note: After you have finished the configuration wizard, you have to

configure the Radius Settings in Advanced Settings in order

to make the 802.1x function work.

WPA-PSK

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) provides better security than

WEP keys. It does not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association

authentication, but you do have to enter a shared key for the authentication purpose. The

encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically.

Pre-shared Key: This is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that

both the 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT and the wireless client stations use the same key.

Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While

CCMP provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be

equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select Both to allow TKIP clients and

CCMP clients to connect to the Access Point at the same time.

Group Rekey Interval: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the rekey

interval is time period that the system will change the group key periodically. The shorter
