Figure 8-4. WPA/WPA2 Security
RADIUS Setting – Configures RADIUS server settings for WPA, WPA2, or
WPA-WPA2-Mixed security modes.
• IP Address/Server Name – Specifies the IP address or domain name of the
RADIUS server.
• Port Number – The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number used by the
RADIUS server for authentication messages. (Range: 1024-65535; Default: 1812)
• Secret – A shared text string used to encrypt messages between the unit and the
RADIUS server. Be sure that the same text string is specified on the RADIUS
server. Do not use blank spaces in the string. (Maximum length: 20 characters)
Note: This guide assumes that you have already configured a RADIUS server in the
attached wired network to support the unit. Configuration of RADIUS server
software is beyond the scope of this guide, refer to documentation provided with
the RADIUS server software.
WPA/WPA2 PSK Security
The WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-WPA2-Mixed-PSK modes use a common
password phrase, called a Pre-Shared Key (PSK), that must be manually distributed
to all clients that want to connect to the network. The Pre-shared Key modes of
WPA/WPA2 remove the need for RADIUS server support in the attached network.
You can specify a key as an easy-to-remember form of letters and numbers. The
WPA Pre-shared Key can be input as ASCII string (8-63 characters) or Hexadecimal
