WPA-PSK-AUTO
Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WPA-PSK-AUTO
WPA-PSK-AUTO tries to authenticate wireless clients using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
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
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.
3.1.4 FINISH SETUP WIZARD AND SAVE YOUR SETTINGS
After stepping through the Wizard’s pages, you can click the APPLY button for your modification to take effect.
This also makes your new settings saved into the permanent memory on your system.
Congratulations! You are now ready to use the WLA-5000AP v3.
If you change the device’s IP address, as soon as you click on FINISH you will no
longer be able to communicate with your WLA-5000AP v3. You need to change
your IP address and then re-boot your computer in order to resume the
communication.
3.2 Advanced settings
The advanced settings tab on the top row of the window allows you to perform modifications that normally you
may not need to do for general operations except changing your password from the default factory setting
(this is highly recommended for security purposes).
