Configuring the WPA-Enabled Wireless Access Point

  • 项目

After typing the IP address for your WPA-enabled access point in the Web browser address bar, the Settings Summary page appears in the Web browser window. You are now ready to configure your access point.

Microsoft used a Buffalo Technology WLA-G54****** 54MBPS wireless bridge base station for this test scenario. The procedures in this document refer to Buffalo Technology-based hardware and software. If you use a different WPA-enabled access point, refer to the product-specific documentation.

To configure your wireless access point for pre-shared key authentication

  1. On the bottom of the Welcome to the AirStation page, choose Advanced.
  2. On the left column of the LAN setting page, choose Wireless.
  3. In the Wireless Setting table, in the ESS-ID row, select the Enter radio button, and type CEWPA.
  4. In the WPA-Configuration row, from the Network Authentication dropdown list, choose WPA-PSK.
  5. In the WPA Pre-Shared Key box, type a set of 8 to 63-digit characters.
  6. In the WPA Group Rekey Interval box, type 30.
  7. In the Type of encryption row, choose TKIP.
  8. In the ANY connection row, choose Allow. Leave the default value for all other settings.
