Setting WPA
In the case of using WPA on a network, activate the WPA setting to be used for communication along with WPA.
You can specify this setting only if [Communication Mode] is set to [Infrastructure Mode].
Only CCMP (AES) is available as the encryption method.
WPA key setting is available only when the optional wireless LAN board is installed.
WPA type | Description |
|---|---|
WPA2 | WPA2 is an expanded version of WPA that fully supports IEEE 802.11i. As with WPA, the machine performs authentication using an external authentication server (RADIUS server) that supports IEEE 802.1X. |
WPA2-PSK | Performs authentication using an encryption key (a Pre-Shared Key) that is shared by the access point and client. External authentication servers are not used. |
