ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP320 Reference Manual
• WPA and WPA-PSK (TKIP). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides
strong data security with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. The very
strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA make it virtually
impossible to compromise.
WPA uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure
and Enable Security Profiles on p
age 39 and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with
RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on p
age 45.
WPA-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see
Configure and Enable Security Profiles on
page 39 and Configure WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK on
page 46.
• WP
A2 and WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) data encryption
provides strong data security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. The
very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA2 make it
virtually impossible to compromise.
WPA2 uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure
and Enable Security Profiles on p
age 39 and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with
RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on p
age 45.
WPA2-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see
Configure and Enable Security Profiles on
page 39 and Configure WPA-PSK,
WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK on
page 46.
• WP
A & WPA2 and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK mixed modes. These modes support data
encryption either with both WPA and WPA2 clients or with both WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK clients and provide the most reliable security.
WPA & WPA2 uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see
Configure and Enable Security Profiles on
page 39 and Configure WPA with RADIUS,
WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on p
age 45.
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK
) for authentication; for more
information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on p
age 39 and Configure
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK on p
age 46.
Security Profiles
Security profiles let you configure unique security settings for each SSID. The wireless
access point supports up to eight BSSIDs that you can configure on the individual Edit
Wireless Network screens that are accessible from the Edit Security Profile screen (see
Configure and Enable Security Profiles on
page 39).
