3. Basic Configuration
WPA2
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WPA2
WPA2 stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. It provides stronger data protection and
network access control then WPA. Only authorized users can access the wireless
networks.
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.
WPA2-PSK
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WPA2-PSK
Enter the Pre-shared Key to initiate WPA security. All devices try to access the network
should have the matching encryption key.
Pre-shared Key: This is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that
both the WHA-5500CPE and the wireless client stations use the same key.
