ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360 Table 27. Point-to-Multipoint Bridge Profile and Authentication Settings (Continued) Field Description Authentication Settings Network Authentication From the Network Authentication drop-down list, select Open System, and WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Your selection determines the options that the Data Encryption Data Encryption drop-down list provides, and whether or not the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field displays. Open System Although you can use the bridge communication without any authentication and encryption, NETGEAR recommends that you use WEP if you do select an open system. From the Data Encryption drop-down list, select one of the following: • None. No authentication and encryption. • 64-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64-bit encryption. • 128-bit WEP. Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128-bit encryption. • 152-bit WEP. Proprietary WEP encryption mode, using 128+24 bits encryption. This mode functions only with other wireless station that support this mode. WPA-PSK WPA2-PSK TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the standard encryption method used with WPA-PSK and the only selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down list. In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters (inclusive). AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the standard encryption method used with WPA2-PSK and the only selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down list. In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between 8 and 63 characters (inclusive). Note: NETGEAR recommends WPA2-PSK authentication with AES encryption if you want to use the 11n rates and speed. Link Test IP Address To verify the connection between the access point and the wireless station that you intend to build a bridge with, enter the IP address of the wireless station, and then click Link Test. The Link Test Process Status field displays the results of the test (Uninitialized, In Process, Success, Timed Out, or Failure). Note: You should be able to ping the IP address of both APs from a connected client. Failure to ping one of the APs means that the wireless signal is not traversing the bridge. Failure to ping both IP addresses means that the clients is not connected correctly. Advanced Configuration 96
