8. For Encryption, select one of the following:
n
WPAPersonal (PSK): All Wi-Fi clients must support WPAto be able to authenticate.
Note When Primary Responder mode isenabled, the WPApersonal security mode is not
available. For more information about Primary Responder mode, see Differences
between standard firmware operation and Primary Responder mode.
n
WPA/WPA2 Personal (PSK): Wi-Fi clientsthat support WPAand WPA2 are able to
authenticate.
Note When Primary Responder mode isenabled, the WPApersonal security mode is not
available. For more information about Primary Responder mode, see Differences
between standard firmware operation and Primary Responder mode.
n
WPA2 Personal (PSK): All Wi-Fi clients must support WPA2 to beable to authenticate.
n
WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE mixed mode: Wi-Fi clients that support WPA2 and WPA3 are
able to authenticate.
n
WPA3 Personal (SAE): All Wi-Fi clients must support WPA3 to be able to authenticate.
Note Only select WPA3 Personal (SAE) if you know that all Wi-Fi clientsconnecting to
this device will haveWPA3 capabilities.
9. For Pre-shared key, enter the password that clientswill use when connecting to the access
point.
Note If you need to configure a Wi-Fi passphrase with any non-printable ASCII characters, you
can use the wpa_passphrase tool to generate the appropriate pre-shared key. The wpa_
passphrase command isavailable in the shell console of a DAL OSDigi device. For details
about the command, see the wpa_passphrase Linux command.
10. (Optional) For Group rekey interval, typethe amount of time to wait before changing the
group key.
The group key is shared by all in clients of the accesspoint, and after a client has
disconnected, it will be able to use the group key to decrypt broadcast packets until the key is
changed.
Allowed values are any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and take the format
number{d|h|m|s}.
For example, to set Group rekey interval to ten minutes, enter 10m or 600s.
Increasing the time between rekeys can improve connectivity issuesin noisy environments. To
disable group rekeys, set to 0. This will allow any client that has previously connected to see
all broadcast traffic on the wireless network until the Wi-Fi radio is restarted. The default is 10
minutes.
11. Assign the Wi-Fi accesspoint to a LAN interfaceor to a bridge. See Configure a Local Area
Network (LAN) and Configure a bridge for more information.
The accesspoint must be assigned to an active LAN, or a bridge that is assigned to an active
LAN.
12. Click Apply to save the configuration and apply the change.
