Using the Wireless Zero Configuration Service for WPA-PSK
Advanced Security
You can have very strong security on your wireless connection by enabling WPA-PSK. For more
information on wireless security, see
“Wireless Networking Overview” on page B-1
.
Wireless client programs must be updated to permit the configuration of WPA authentication (and
preshared key) and the new WPA encryption algorithms (TKIP and the optional AES component).
For wireless clients that are running Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2003
and that are using a wireless network adapter that supports the Wireless Zero Configuration
service, you must obtain and install the Windows WPA Client. For wireless clients that are running
Windows XP service pack 2 (SP2) and that are using a wireless network adapter that supports the
Wireless Zero Configuration service, the Windows WPA Client is included in Windows XP SP2.
Therefore, additional downloads are not needed. The Windows WPA Client updates the wireless
network configuration dialog boxes to support new WPA options.
