WPA-Personal
Configuration
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides better security
than WEP because it uses dynamic key encryption. This
standard was implemented as an intermediate measure to
replace WEP, pending final completion of the 802. 1 1i stan-
dard for WPA2.
WPA-Personal supports Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) or Advanced Encryption System (AES) encryption
mechanisms for data encryption (default is TKIP+AES).
TKIP uses dynamic keys and incorporates Message
Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.
AES uses symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.
If you choose this option, enter the following information:
•
WPA Pre-Shared Key: The Pre-shared Key (PSK) is
the shared secret key for WPA. Enter a string of at
least 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters.
•
Show Password: Check to show the pre-shared
key in plaintext.
•
WPA Key Renewal Timeout: Enter a value to set
the interval at which the key is refreshed for clients
associated to this SSID. A value of zero (0) indicates
that the key is not refreshed. The default value is
3600 seconds.
•
WPA Encryption: Choose either AES or TKIP+AES
as the encryption algorithm for data encryption. The
default is TKIP+AES.
