Chapter 6 Wireless LAN Table 20 Network > Wireless LAN > General: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (continued) LABEL Cipher Type DESCRIPTION Select the encryption type (TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES) for data encryption. Pre-Shared Key Select AES if your wireless clients can all use AES. Otherwise, select TKIP or select TKIP+AES to allow the wireless clients to use either TKIP or AES WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a simple common password for authentication. Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols). Group Key Update Timer Apply Reset Type a pre-shared key less than 64 case-sensitive HEX characters ("0-9", "A-F"). The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK/WPA2PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA/WPA2 key management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA/WPA2 equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK/WPA2PSK mode. Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-418N v2.
