AirLive WN-300ARM-VPN User’s Manual 125
If WPA2-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for
each of the following:
WPA2 PSK
(Pre-shared Key)
Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The
PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. The
256Bit key used for the actual encryption is derived
from this key.
Encryption The same encryption method must be used. The most
common encryption method is TKIP. Another
widely-supported method is AES.
WPA-802.1x
This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to
the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard.
If this option is used:
 The Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
 Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
 Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required.
All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically generated, so no key input
is required.
Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the
same settings, as follows:
Mode On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to
"Infrastructure".
(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.)
SSID (ESSID) Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the
Access Point they wish to connect to. Alternatively, the SSID can
be set to "any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access
Point.
Wireless
Security
The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same
settings for Wireless security. (None, WEP, WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, WPA-802.1x).
