Hexadecimal digits if you choose this option. For example,
“1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef”
802.1x
802.1x allows users to leverage a RADIUS server to do association authentications. You
can also enable dynamic WEP key (128 bit) to have data encryption. You do not have
to enter the WEP key manually because it will be generated automatically and
dynamically.
Rekey interval
is time period that the system will change the key periodically. The
shorter the interval is, the better the security is.
After you have finished the configuration wizard, you have to
configure the RADIUS Settings in “
Operation Mode -> Setup ->
RADIUS Settings”
in order to make the 802.1x function work.
WPA, WPA2, WPA-AUTO
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) introduces the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
that provides added security. WPA2 adds full support for 802.11i standard and the
CCMP (AES Encryption). The WPA-AUTO tries to authenticate wireless clients using
WPA or WPA2. All 3 requires a RADIUS server available in order to do authentication
(same as 802.1x), thus there is no shared key required.
