using WPA2 or WPA2-PSK.
Group Key
Rekeying
Enter the rate at which the AP or the RADIUS server sends a new
group key out to all clients.
Use WPA with
Pre-shared Key
Select this option if you do not have a RADIUS server in your network
and want to use a pre-shared key WPA or WPA2.
Pre-shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are
the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK
uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters
(including spaces and symbols).
Use WPA with
RADIUS Server
Select this option if you have a RADIUS server in your network and
want to use it for user authentication and encryption.
Server IP Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted
decimal notation.
Authentication
Port
Enter the port number of the external authentication server. The
default port number is 1812.
You need not change this value unless your network administrator
instructs you to do so with additional information.
Shared Secret
Key
Enter a password (from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters) as
the key to be shared between the external authentication server and
the NWA1300-NJ.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and
your NWA1300-NJ. The key is not sent over the network.
WEP WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless
stations and the access points to keep network communications
private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a
network. Both the wireless clients and the access points must use the
same WEP key.
Select this to configure and enable WEP encryption.
Encryption The NWA1300-NJ allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit
WEP keys but only one key can be enabled at any one time.
Mode
Select the type of input mode from the drop-down list box.
Select ASCII to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
Select HEX to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.
