Key renewal (for AP mode only)

Setting Description Factory Default

60 to 86400 seconds

(1 minute to 1 day)

Specifies the time period of group key renewal 3600 (seconds)

NOTE

The

key renewal value dictates how often the wireless AP encryption keys should be changed. T

he security

level

is generally higher if you set the key renewal value to a shorter number, which forces the

encryption keys

to b

e changed more frequently. The default value is 3600 seconds (6 minutes). Longer time periods can be

considered if

the line is not very busy.

WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (for AP mode)

By setting WPA type to Enterprise, you can use EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol), a framework

authentication protocol used by 802.1X to provide network authentication. In these Enterprise-level security

modes, a back-end RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server is needed if IEEE 802.1X

functionality is enabled in WPA /WPA2. The IEEE 802.1X protocol also offers the possibility of carrying out an

efficient connection authentication on a large-scale network. It is not necessary to exchange keys or

passphrases.

WPA type

Setting Description Factory Default

Personal Provides Pre-Shared Key-enabled WPA and WPA2 Personal

Enterprise Provides enterprise-level security for WPA and WPA2
