WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is an extra-strong encryption where encryption keys are
automatically changed (called rekeying) and authenticated between
devices after a specified period of time, or after a specified number of
packets has been transmitted.
WPA-PSK is far superior to WEP and provides stronger protection for
the home or SOHO users. The process used to generate the encryption
key is very rigorous and the re-keying (or key changing) is done very
quickly. This stops even the most determined hacker from gathering
enough data to break the encryption.
Key Entry Method
Key entry method can be HEX or ASCII. To associate with the airPoint
Nexus device, this value should be set to ASCII.
Passphrase
This key is used by the client to become authenticated with the airPoint
Nexus or any third party WPA capable device.
Cipher
This can be set to TKIP or AES
Note: AES is only supported in 3415-03 model.
