3.2.2.2 WPA/WPA2 Encryption
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture, but offers additional pro-
tection via dynamic codes, which are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) or
extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for user authentication. However, a radius server is required for this. WPA2 is a development
of WPA and uses a different encryption algorithm, advanced encryption standard (AES).
WPA offers two types of authentication, either pre-shared key or authentication via special authentication protocols, which are
generally variations of EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). An authentication server (RADIUS server) is used for the latter
authentication method, which is rarely used for private applications. Your administrator can give you the information you require to
confi gure this authentication method.
WPA pre-shared-key (recommen-
ded for most users)
First select whether you want to
use WPA with TKIP encryption
algorithm, WPA2 with AES encryp-
tion algorithm or the WPA Mixed
mode. The mixed mode allows
clients using WPA or WPA2 to ac-
cess the access point. The mixture
is very practical as presently few
XP clients are WPA2 compatible. If
the mixed mode is switched off, the
AP only allows WPA2 clients, and
the large number of WPA (TKIP)
devices cannot connect.
Then you must select the key
format (Pre-shared Key Format).
Select either Pass phrase for a key
with a length of at least 8 and max.
63 characters, whereby letters
(A-Z), numbers and punctuation
marks can be used, or Hex for a
64 character key, in which only
numbers from 0-9 and letters from
a-f can be used.
The next step is entering a key,
called a pre-shared-key (PSK). All
clients which are to access the
access point must know this character string.
Click Apply to save your settings. You must then restart the router for the settings to take effect. To do so, click Apply in the next
window. The wireless network with encryption is available after you restart.
WPA RADIUS (requires a special authentication server)
First select whether you want to use WPA with TKIP encryption algorithm, WPA2 with AES encryption algorithm or the WPA Mixed
mode. The mixed mode allows clients using WPA or WPA2 to access the access point. The mixture is very practical as presently few
XP clients are WPA2 compatible.
Select WPA2 (AES) only. The AP only allows WPA2 clients, and the large number of WPA (TKIP) devices cannot connect.
Next enter the RADIUS server IP address. The RADIUS Server Port is preset to 1812. Enter the password for the RADIUS Server.
Click Apply to save your settings. You must then restart the router for the settings to take effect. To do so, click Apply in the next
window. The wireless network with encryption is available after you restart.
