WPA
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) requires a RADIUS server available in order to do authentication (same as
802.1x), thus there is no shared key required.
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
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WPA-PSK
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.
Pre-shared Key: This is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that both the
WLA-5000AP v3 and the wireless client stations use the same key.
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
