The following table describes the wireless LAN security labels in this screen.
Table 20 Wireless LAN > General: WPA(2)-PSK
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Mode Choose WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down list box.
Active
Compatible This field is only available for WPA2-PSK. Select this if you want the
ZyXEL Device to support WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK simultaneously.
Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are
the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK
uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters
(including spaces and symbols).
(WPA) Group
Key Update
Timer The (WPA) Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if
using WPA(2)-PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using
WPAWPA(2) key management) sends a new group key out to all clients.
The re-keying process is the WPA(2) equivalent of automatically
changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic
basis. Setting of the (WPA) Group Key Update Timer is also
supported in WPA(2)-PSK mode. The ZyXEL Device default is 1800
seconds (30 minutes).
WPA Encryption Select the encryption type (TKIP or AES) for data encryption.
