Parameter
Description
Security Mode is set to WPA2-PSK or Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, this parameter has the
AES
, TKIP, and TKIP&AES values.
−
AES: It indicates the Advanced Encryption Standard.
−
TKIP: It indicates the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. If
this encryption algorithm is
used, the AP can reach a maximum wireless transmission rate of 54 Mbps.
−
TKIP&AES: It indicates that both TKIP and AES encryption algorithms are
supported. Wireles
s clients can connect to the wireless network corresponding to
the selected SSID using TKIP or AES.
Key
It specifies a preshared WPA
key. A
WPA key can contain 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 8 to
64 hexadecimal characters.
Key Update Interval
It specifies t
he automatic update interval of a WPA key for data encryption. A shorter
interval results in higher data security.
The value
0 indicates that a WAP key is not updated.
