Wpa/Wpa2 Encryption - Hama 00062765 Bedienungsanleitung

3.2.2 WPA/WPA2 encryption

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture,
but offers additional protection via dynamic codes, which are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP), and also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) or extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for user authen-
tication. However, a radius server is required for this. WPA2 is a development of WPA and uses a different
encryption algorithm, advanced encryption standard (AES).
Authentication via pre-shared key
Select WPA/WPA2 password and then click Configure.
ASCII = at least 8 and no more than 63 random characters. Letters, numbers and special characters are
allowed or
Hex = For a code with a length of 64 characters, whereby only characters from 0-9 and a-f can be used.
Click OK to confirm your entries. In the Profile management tab, you can now select your profile and Activate
it by clicking the button.
- Authentication via special authentication protocols and certificates
You can also authenticate yourself via special authentication protocols, which however require an
authentication server. Select either WPA/WPA2 or 802.1x.
The authentication protocols available here are variations of EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
which require an authentication server (RADIUS server) or certificates. Your administrator can give you
the information you require to configure this authentication method.
The configuration process is now complete. Switch to the Current status tab again.
Enter the code in the required format.
The signal strength and corresponding information on
your configuration should now be displayed here. You
can now close the configuration tool The activated
profile is run automatically after a restart.
