6.5.4 Wireless Security: WPA(2)

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE

802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and

key management than WPA. Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are user

authentication and improved data encryption.

LABEL DESCRIPTION

Encryption Method Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK if you want to

configure a pre-shared key. Choose this option only if your AP supports it.

Data Encryption Select TKIP, AES or TKIP + AES to enable data encryption. For more

information, see the Wireless Security appendix.

Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The

only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common

password, instead of user-specific credentials.

Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 ASCII characters (including spaces and

symbols). This field is case-sensitive.

Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the device.
