WPA-Personal

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides better security than

WEP because it uses dynamic key encryption. This standard

was implemented as an intermediate measure to replace

WEP, pending final completion of the 802. 1 1i standard for

WPA2.

WPA-Personal supports Temporal Key Integrity Protocol

(TKIP) or Advanced Encryption System (AES) encryption

mechanisms for data encryption (default is TKIP). TKIP uses

dynamic keys and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC)

to provide protection against hackers. AES uses symmetric

128-bit block data encryption.

If you choose this option, enter the following information:

•

WPA Pre-Shared: The Pre-shared Key (PSK) is the

shared secret key for WPA. Enter a string of at least 8

characters to a maximum of 63 characters.

•

Key Renewal Timeout: Enter a value to set the interval

at which the key is refreshed for clients associated to

this SSID. A value of zero (0) indicates that the key is not

refreshed. The default value is 3600 seconds.

•

Encryption: Choose TKIP, AES, or TKIP+AES as the

encryption algorithm for data encryption. The default is

TKIP.
