4.5 Wireless – Wireless Security 
 
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of your wireless network. There are three wireless security mode 
options supported by the AP: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA Pre-Shared Key, WPA RADIUS.  
 
Wireless Security 
The security options are the same and independent for your Wireless-A and Wireless-G networks. You can use different 
wireless security methods for your networks; however, within each network (Wireless-A or Wireless-G), all devices must 
use the same security method and settings. 
 
Security Mode: 
 
WEP: WEP is a basic encryption method, select a level of WEP encryption, 40/64-bit, 128-bit or 152-bit. If you want to 
use a Passphrase, then enter it in the Passphrase field and click the Generate button. If you want to enter the WEP 
key manually, then enter it in the WEP Key 1-4 field(s). To indicate which WEP key to use, select the appropriate TX 
Key number. 
 
WPA only: 
WPA Pre-Shared Key: This security mode offers two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption 
keys. Select the type of encryption method you want to use, TKIP or AES. Enter the Passphrase, which can have 8 to 
63 characters. Then enter the Key Renewal period, which instructs the AP how often it should change the encryption 
keys. 
 
WPA RADIUS: 
This security mode must work with a RADIUS server using EAP –TLS or PEAP for user 
authentication. 
To use WPA RADIUS, select the type of encryption method you want to use, TKIP or AES.  
Enter the RADIUS server’s IP address and port number (default is 1812), along with the authentication shared key by 
the AP and the server. 
Enter the Key Renewal period, which instructs the AP how often it should change the encryption keys.
