AirLive AirMax DUO User’s Manual

WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK-Auto: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared
Key (PSK) provides better security than WEP keys. It does not require a RADIUS server in

order to provide association authentication, but you do have to enter a shared key for the
authentication purpose. The encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically.

WPA2-PSK adds CCMP and AES encryption for even better security. WPA-PSK-AUTO

tries to authenticate wireless clients using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.

Pre-shared Key: This is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make
sure that both the AIRMAX DUO and the wireless client stations use the same
key.

Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES).

While CCMP provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations
may not be equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select “Both” to

allow TKIP clients and CCMP clients to connect to the Access Point at the

same time.
