SSID and Security Settings
You may choose from the following wireless security options:
Open
Shared
WPA
WPA-PSK
WPA2
WPA2- PSK
WPA-PSK-WPA2-PSK
WPA1-WPA2
WPA1/WPA2
WPA (WiFi Protected Access) authentication is suitable for enterprise applications. It must be used in conjunction with an
authentication server such as RADIUS to provide centralized access control and management. It provides a stronger encryption and
authentication solution.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
A newer type of security is WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES). This type of security gives a more secure network compare to
WEP. Use TKIP Encryption Type for WPA-PSK and AES for WPA2-PSK. After that, please enter the key in the Passphrase field. The
key needs to be more than 8 characters and less than 63 characters and it can be any combination of letters and numbers.
Note that the configuration for WPA2, WPA-PSK-WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is identical.

Note: Your NTC-8000-01 uses WPA2-PSK by default. Check the Wireless Security Card or the device label on the bottom
of the NTC-30WV for your default SSID and Security key to begin connecting your wireless devices.
