AirLive AirMax DUO Lite 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 LITE 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.
