WPA2
Enables or disables WPA2. This advanced protocol is certified
through Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA2 program and implements the
mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular, it introduces a
new AES-based algorithm (CCMP) that is considered fully
secure.
WPA2-PSK
Enables or disables WPA2-PSK, If you do not have an external
RADIUS server, use WPA2-PSK that requires a single
(identical) password entered into wireless gateway and
wireless client. As long as the passwords match, a client is
granted access to the wireless LAN.
WPA/WPA2 Encryption
Sets WPA/WPA2 encryption to AES or TKIP+AES.
WPA Pre-Shared Key
Displays (checked) or hides (unchecked) the WPA key. The
encryption mechanisms for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same,
except that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password
instead of user-specific credentials. Refer to
Understanding
Default Values and Device Logins on page 6
for the default
value of the shared key. For MIB information about the pre-
shared key, see
dot11WpaPreSharedKey on page 127
.
RADIUS Server
Defines the IP address of RADIUS server, if used.
RADIUS Port
Defines the port number of the RADIUS server when WPA or
802.1x network authentication is selected.
RADIUS Key
Defines the RADIUS Key when WPA or 802.1x network
authentication is selected.
Group Key Rotation Interval
Allows the device to generate the best possible random group
key and update all the key-management capable stations
periodically.
WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval
For a wireless router (if using WPA-PSK key management) or
RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a new
group key out to all clients at the specified interval. The re-
keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically
changing the WEP key for a wireless access point and all
stations in the WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting the WPA
Group Key Update Timer (defined in seconds) is also
supported in WPA-PSK mode.
WEP Encryption
Enables or disables WEP encryption. If you do not have WPA(2)-
aware wireless clients, use WEP key encrypting. A higher bit key
offers better security. WEP encryption scrambles the data
transmitted between the wireless stations and the DDW262.G to
keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and
multicast communications in a network. Both the wireless stations
and the DDW262.G must use the same WEP key. Data
Encryption can be set to WEP
128-bit, 64-bit,
or
Disable.
Shared Key Authentication
Defines Shared Key Authentication as optional or required.
Shared Key is an authentication method used by wireless
LANs, which follow the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wireless
devices authenticate each other by using a secret key that is
kept by both devices.
