Parameter description
Parameter
Description
Security Mode
It indicates the personal or pre-shared key security mode, including WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed
WPA/WPA2-PSK.

WPA-PSK: It indicates that the wireless network corresponding to the selected SSID is encrypted
using WPA-PSK.

WPA2-PSK: It indicates that the wireless network corresponding to the selected SSID is encrypted
using WPA2-PSK.

Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK: It indicates that wireless clients can connect to the wireless network
corresponding to the selected SSID using either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
Encryption Algorithm
It specifies the encryption algorithm corresponding to the selected security mode. If Security Mode
is set to WPA-PSK, this parameter has the AES and TKIP values. If Security Mode is set to WPA2-PSK
or Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, this parameter has the AES, TKIP, and TKIP&AES values.

AES: It indicates the Advanced Encryption Standard.

TKIP: It indicates the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. If TKIP is used, the maximum wireless
throughput of the AP is limited to 54 Mbps.

TKIP&AES: It indicates that both TKIP and AES encryption algorithms are supported. Wireless
clients can connect to the wireless network corresponding to the selected SSID using TKIP or AES.
Key
It specifies a pre-shared WPA key. A WPA key can contain 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 8 to 64
hexadecimal characters.
Key Update Interval
It specifies the automatic update interval of a WPA key for data encryption. A shorter interval results
in higher data security.
The value 0 indicates that a WAP key is not updated.
