Chapter 8 Wireless LAN The following table describes the wireless LAN security labels in this screen. Table 28 Network > Wireless LAN > AP: Static WEP LABEL DESCRIPTION Security Mode Choose Static WEP from the drop-down list box. Passphrase Enter a passphrase (up to 32 printable characters) and click Generate. The ZyXEL Device automatically generates a WEP key. WEP Key The WEP key is used to encrypt data. Both the ZyXEL Device and the wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission. If you want to manually set the WEP key, enter any 5 or 13 characters (ASCII string) or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for a 64bit or 128-bit WEP key respectively. 8.2.3 WPA(2)-PSK Use this screen to configure and enable WPA(2)-PSK authentication. Click Network > Wireless LAN to display the AP screen. Select WPA-PSK or WPA2PSK from the Security Mode list. Figure 46 Network > Wireless LAN > AP: WPA(2)-PSK The following table describes the wireless LAN security labels in this screen. Table 29 Network > Wireless LAN > AP: WPA(2)-PSK LABEL DESCRIPTION Security Mode Choose WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down list box. Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials. WPA Group Key Update Timer Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols). The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA(2)-PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA(2) key management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The rekeying process is the WPA(2) equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. 108 P-660HN-TxA User's Guide
