WPA Encryption Setting

WPA feature provides a high level of assurance for end-users and

administrators that their data will remain private and access to their network

restricted to authorized users. You can choose the WPA encryption and select

the Authentication Mode.

WPA Authentication Mode

This device supports two WPA modes. For personal user, you can use the

Pre-shared Key to enhance your security setting. This mode requires only an

access point and client station that supports WPA-PSK. For Enterprise,

authentication is achieved via WPA RADIUS Server. You need a RADIUS or

other authentication server on the network.

Enterprise (RADIUS):

When WPA Authentication mode is Enterprise (RADIUS), you have to add

user accounts and the target device to the RADIUS Server. In the device ,

you need to specify the IP address、Password (Shared Secret) and Port

number of the target RADIUS server.

z

Pre-Share Key:

This mode requires only an access point and client station that supports

WPA-PSK. The WPA-PSK settings include Key Format, Length and Value.

They must be as same as each wireless client in your wireless network.

When Key format is Passphrase, the key value should have 8~63 ACSII

chars. When Key format is Hex, the key value should have 64 hexadecimal

digits (0~9, a~f or A~F).
