WPA Authentica-
tion Mode
There are 2 types of authentication mode for WPA.
WPA-RADIUS: WPA RADIUS uses an external RADIUS server
to perform user authentication. To use WPA RADIUS, enter the
IP address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS port (default is
1812) and the shared secret from the RADIUS server. Please
refer to “Authentication RADIUS Server” setting below for RA-
DIUS setting. The WPA algorithm is selected between TKIP
and AES, please refer to “WPA cipher Suite” below.
Pre-Shared Key: Pre-Shared Key authentication is based on
a shared secret that is known only by the parties involved. To
use WPA Pre-Shared Key, select key format and enter a pass-
word in the “Pre-Shared Key Format” and “Pre-Shared Key”
setting respectively. Please refer to “Pre-Shared Key Format”
and “Pre-Shared Key” setting below.
Pre-Shared Key

Hex (64 characters): Select this to enter the Pre-Shared Key
secret as hexadecimal secret.
Pre-Shared Key Specify the shared secret used by this Pre-Shared Key. If the
“Pre-Shared Key Format” is specied as PassPhrase, then
it indicates a passphrase of 8 to 63 bytes long; or if the “Pre-
Shared Key Format” is specied as PassPhrase, then it indi-
cates a 64-hexadecimal number.

WEP + Encryption Key
WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is pro-
tected as it is transmitted from one end point to another. However, it has been found
that WEP is not as secure as once believed.
From the • Encryption drop-down list, select WEPsetting.
