server is connected to the Access Point.)
Allow PCs with the same wireless network name (SSID) to see each other
. When enabled, devices in the
same wireless network will be able to access each other, so they can transfer files through the network. To deny
access, select
Disabled
. Otherwise, keep the default,
Enabled
.
RADIUS Server IP Address
. Enter the RADIUS server’s IP address.
WPA Algorithms
. WPA offers you two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select
the type of algorithm you want to use,
TKIP
or
AES
.
RADIUS Server Port
. Enter the port number used by the RADIUS server.
Shared Secret
. Enter the Shared Secret key used by the Access Point and RADIUS server.
Key Renewal Timeout

should change the encryption keys.
