The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Cipher Type Select an encryption cipher type from the list.
• auto - This automatically chooses the best available cipher based on the cipher in
use by the wireless client that is attempting to make a connection.
• tkip - This is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol encryption method added later to
the WEP encryption protocol to further secure. Not all wireless clients may support
this.
• aes - This is the Advanced Encryption Standard encryption method. It is a more
recent development over TKIP and considerably more robust. Not all wireless clients
may support this.
Idle Timeout Enter the idle interval (in seconds) that a client can be idle before authentication is
discontinued.
Group Key Update
Timer
Enter the interval (in seconds) at which the AP updates the group WPA encryption key.
Pre-Authentication This field is available only when you set Security Mode to wpa2 or wpa2-mix and
enable 802.1x authentication.
Enable or Disable pre-authentication to allow the AP to send authentication
information to other APs on the network, allowing connected wireless clients to switch
APs without having to re-authenticate their network connection.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the SBG3500-N Series.
