-WPA-Preshared key
There are two encryption options for WPA Pre-Shared Key, TKIP and AES. TKIP stands for
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates
Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. AES stands for Advanced
Encryption System, which utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data encryption.
To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, enter a password in the WPA Shared Key field between 8 and 63
characters long. You may also enter a Group Key Renewal Interval time between 0 and 99,999
seconds.
WPA
Algorithms Please choose your algorithms method. You can select
between TKIP or AES.
WPA Shared
Key Please input the Pre-Shared Key. The key should be 8
characters or 63 characters in alphanumeric.
Group Key
Renewal Please input the period of renewal time. The default selection
is 300 seconds.
Important Notice
In order to make right use of WPA, please ensure that your current Wireless Adapter’s driver, and
Wireless Utility can support it, WPA needs 802.1x authentication (when RADIUS mode is chosen),
though the Operating System must also support 802.1x protocol. For Microsoft’s OS family, only
Windows XP has incorporated this by default. The rest of the OS must installed 3er party’s client
software such as Funk ODySSey.
