WPA, WPA2
The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard. It enhances data
encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128-bit per-packet key,
meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a message
integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being hampered with. Only authorized
network users can access the wireless network. The later WPA2 protocol features compliance with
the full IEEE 802.11i standard and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in addition to TKIP
encryption protocol to guarantee better security than that provided by WEP or WPA.
Configuration Steps for WPA, WPA2: (In the example, the RADIUS server is 192.168.0.88, the
RADIUS port is 1812, the RADIUS password is 12345678, and the cipher type is AES)
❶ Select the SSID you wish to encrypt, say IP-COM_002070.
❷ Select WPA or WPA2 as its security mode.
❸ RADIUS Server: Enter 192.168.0.88.
❹ RADIUS Port: Enter 1812.
❺ RADIUS Password: Enter 12345678.
❻ Select AES as its cipher type.
❼ Click Save to apply your changes.
