1 Mbit/s - Only raise this if there
are issues with multicast trafc
throughput.
The rate at which to transmit multicast trafc out
over the wireless link in Mbits/s (turbo rate). Higher
data rates will increase transmission speed but
decrease the range at which the transmissions can be
received.

Default 300s. Lower times may
improve roaming performance, but
will generate more network trafc.

mode will display conguration
options.
• WEP: is the original wireless encryption standard.
This is rarely used.
• WPA Personal: provides a higher level of
security and does not use a centralised
authentication server.
• WPA Enterprise: as per WPA Personal but a
RADIUS authentication server is used.
Note: After a unit is reset to factory defaults, it will have a single wireless network on channel 6
with the name "AP------" (the last six digits of the unit's MAC address), WPA2-AES security enabled
and the password "minesite".
Configuring WPA Settings
WPA provides a higher level of security. WPA-Personal and WPA-Enterprise are variants of Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA). WPA-Enterprise requires an external RADIUS server.
To congure WPA settings:
1.
Select the WPA mode from the drop-down box.
2.
Select the Cipher Type from the drop-down box. By default it is set at AES.
3.
Enter Group Key Update Interval in the supplied eld. By default it is 3600 seconds. This is the
amount of time before the group key (used for broadcast and multicast data encryption) is changed.
4.
Enter the Pre-Shared Key in the supplied eld (applicable to WPA Personal security mode). The key
must be at least 8 alphanumeric characters in length.
5.
Click Save Settings.
