Wireless Protected Access or WPA is the latest wireless security enhancement that increases the

level of data protection for communicating over wireless networks. There are 2 modes of WPA, PSK

(pre-shared key) or Radius (803.1.x).

NOTE: To use WPA you must have a Wireless Client adapter that supports WPA as well as a WPA

client.

For Windows XP users, you can download and install a WPA update from the Microsoft site.

Cypher Suite: Only TKIP is supported

802.1X Authentication: Requires a Radius server is configured in the 802.1x section.

Pre-shared Key (PSK) Authentication: Uses a pre-shared key to do authentication. No Radius

server is required. The pre-shared key can be generated using with passphrase style or manually

defined with 64 HEX characters.

Group Key Re-keying: This in the interval time period of renewing broadcast/multicast the

dynamic WPA key to each wireless client on your network.

NOTE: When both WEP and WPA clients are allowed, the Group Key Re-keying function will

automatically be disabled.
