User guide

◆AP PIN — Displays the PIN Code for the Wireless Router.

◆WPS Name — WPS name for connecting to the device.

◆Security Mode — Selects between methods of broadcasting the WPS beacon to

network clients wanting to join the network:

WPA Algorithms — Selects the data encryption type to use. (Default is determined

by the Security Mode selected.)

◆TKIP — Uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) keys for encryption. WPA

specifies TKIP as the data encryption method to replace WEP. TKIP avoids the

problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption keys.

◆AES — Uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys for encryption. WPA2 uses

AES Counter-Mode encryption with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication

Code (CBC-MAC) for message integrity. The AES Counter-Mode/CBCMAC Protocol

(AESCCMP) provides extremely robust data confidentiality using a 128- bit key. Use

of AES-CCMP encryption is specified as a standard requirement for WPA2. Before

implementing WPA2 in the network, be sure client devices are upgraded to

WPA2-compliant hardware.

◆Auto — Uses either TKIP or AES keys for encryption. WPA and

WPA2 mixed modes allow both WPA and WPA2 clients to associate to a common

SSID. In mixed mode, the unicast encryption type (TKIP or AES) is negotiated for

each client.

◆ Key Renewal Interval — Sets the time period for automatically changing data

encryption keys and redistributing them to all connected clients.

◆Pass Phrase — The WPA Preshared Key can be input as an ASCII string (an

easy-to-remember form of letters and numbers that can include spaces) or

Hexadecimal format. (Range: 8~63 ASCII characters, or exactly 64 Hexadecimal

digits)
