ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 WAC730 Configure WPA With RADIUS and WPA & WPA2 With RADIUS WPA and WPA & WPA2 security requires RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication, so you also must define RADIUS server settings. For information about RADIUS servers, see Configure RADIUS Server Settings on page 41. The selections that are available from the Data Encryption menu depend on the type of WPA authentication that you select from the Network Authentication menu and are shown in the following table. Setting Descriptions AES Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2. Note: Although some wireless clients might support AES with WPA, the WAC720 and WAC730 wireless access points do not support WPA with AES. TKIP + AES The TKIP + AES encryption method is supported both for WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients use AES. For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data encryption method. Configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK WPA-PSK, WPA-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK authentication use a pre-shared key (PSK, also called a passphrase or a network key) and do not require authentication from a RADIUS server. The selections that are available from the Data Encryption menu depend on the type of WPA-PSK authentication that you select from the Network Authentication menu and are shown in the following table.
