* WPA Pre-Shared Key
Traditional WEP had an inconvenient method to change encrypted keys. Even when you changed the
encrypted keys; you still can not select all APs and wireless LAN adapter while you are changing
encrypted keys.
The manual re-keying which is necessary with WEP is a tedious manual process and is completely
impractical for large organizations. After all, the instant you re-key an access point, none of the clients
will be able to access it until they too are re-keyed. But with WPA, the re-keying of global encryption
keys is all that is necessary. In the case of unicast traffic, the encryption key is changed after every
frame using Temporary Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). This protocol allows key changes to occur on a
frame-by-frame basis and to be automatically synchronized between the access point and the
wireless client. Global re-keying works by advertising the new keys to wireless clients.
Cipher Algorithms – Two options you can choose: TKIP and AES settings.
Group Re-key - Two options: Enabled or Disabled.
Pre-Shared key - Enter a password up to 63 ASCII characters (uppercase “A~Z”, lowercase “a~z”, or
numeric “0~9”) in length.
