Key Management 

Protocol

Choose WPA-PSK in this field.

Pre-Shared Key

The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The 

only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common 

password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 printable characters (including spaces; 

alphabetic characters are case-sensitive).

WPA Mixed Mode

The Prestige can operate in WPA Mixed Mode, which supports both clients 

running WPA and clients running dynamic WEP key exchange with 802.1x in the 

same Wi-Fi network.
Select the check box to activate WPA mixed mode. Otherwise, clear the check 

box and configure the Group Data Privacy field.

Group Data Privacy Group Data Privacy allows you to choose TKIP (recommended) or WEP for 

broadcast and multicast ("group") traffic if the Key Management Protocol is 

WPA and WPA Mixed Mode is disabled. WEP is used automatically if you have 

enabled WPA Mixed Mode. 
All unicast traffic is automatically encrypted by TKIP when WPA or WPA-PSK 

Key Management Protocol is selected. 

Authentication 

Databases

This field is only visible when WPA Mixed Mode is enabled.
