User's Manual

To use WPA authentication, enter the required values on WPA
Group Rekey Interval, RADIUS Server IP Address, RADIUS
Port and RADIUS Key fields.
WPA Group Rekey Interval is used to specify the frequency of
encryption key rotations. The lower the number, the faster your
encryption key will rotate, however, setting this number too low
may cause your wireless network to slow down.
In WPA, you can select TKIP, or AES or TKIP+AES as data
encryption method.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) includes four algorithms:
MIC (message integrity check), to protect packets from
tampering; PPK (Per-Packet Key) hashing, to prevent weak key
attacks; extended IV (initialization vector), to reduce IV reuse
and the possibility that a hacker will collect sufficient packets to
crack the encryption; and a re-keying mechanism, to change the
temporal key dynamically. TKIP is the most commonly used
encryption method; however, if your wireless clients do not
support TKIP, the WX-5803 also supports AES (Advanced
Encryption Security) encryption. AES will replace 802.11's
RC4-based encryption under 802.11i specification.
(3) WPA-PSK
In enterprises, WPA will be used in conjunction with both
wireless router and authentication server. In Small Office/ Home
Office (SOHO) environment, where there are no authentication
servers, user can use pre-shared key (PSK) mode in place of
the authentication server. WX-5803 provides WPA running in
PSK mode.
Enter the following field with the required values.
WPA Pre-shared Key
WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is a field where the password is
entered. All wireless clients must also use this password to
