AirLive WLA-9000AP User’s Manual

„

Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While

CCMP provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be

equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select Both to allow TKIP clients

and CCMP clients to connect to the Access Point at the same time.

„

Group Rekey Interval

: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the

re-key interval is time period that the system will change the group key periodically.

The shorter the interval is, the better the security is. The default is 300 sec.

WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK-Auto

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) provides better security than

WEP keys. It does not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association

authentication, but you do have to enter a shared key for the authentication purpose.

The encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically. WPA2-PSK adds

CCMP and AES encryption for even better security. WPA-PSK-AUTO tries to

authenticate wireless clients using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
