P-660HN Series Support Notes Note: If there are more than one access point is needed be sure to make the adjacent access point service area over lap one another. So the wireless station is able to roam. For more information please refer to roaming at 5. Configure 802.1x and WPA  What is the WPA Functionality?  Configuration for Access Point  Configuration for your PC  What is WPA Functionality? Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification draft. Key differences between WAP and WEP are user authentication and improved data encryption. WAP applies IEEE 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using an external RADIUS database. You can not use the P-660HN-T1A's local user database for WPA authentication purpose since the local user database uses MD5 EAP which can not to generate keys. WPA improves data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), Message Integrity Check and IEEE 802.1x. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol uses 128-bits keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by 102 All contents copyright © 2010 ZyXEL Communications Corporation.
