Cipher Type Choices
• AES. Advanced Encryption Standard, a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption technique. It
is an iterated block cipher with a variable block length and a variable key length. The block
length and the key length can be independently specified to 128, 192 or 256 bits.The U.S
government adopted the algorithm as its encryption technique in October 2000, replacing the
DES encryption it used. AES works at multiple network layers simultaneously.
• TKIP. The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol mechanism shares a starting key between devices.
Each device then changes their encryption key for every packet. It is extremely difficult for
hackers to read messages — even if they have intercepted the data.
Passphrase
The Passphrase must be identical on all PCs and access points in your network. Enter a word or
group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. These characters are case sensitive.
Key Update
The default Key Update is 0 for unlimited updates. You can change this to a value between 15 and
1800.
Radius Server Settings
• Enter the Radius Server IP address.
• The Radius Port number is 1812 by default.
• Enter a Radius Secret, which can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters
Note: Not all wireless adapter configuration utilities support WPA. Furthermore, client software is
required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client
software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also
support WPA.
