portant to note, that without encryption it is easy for strangers to connect to your network, especially if the AirStation is broadcasting its SSID.

Select the type of data encryption:

Disabled - Disable data encryption.

-WEP - Uses WEP encryption. Encryption key should be entered.

-TKIP - Uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) for data encryption.

The encryption key is renewed every “Re-key interval” when “TKIP” is selected.

WEP - When the WEP (Wired Equivalent Protection) encryption standard is implemented into a wireless network, a WEP key is used between the client and access point to successfully encrypt, transmit and decrypt data. For this reason, the same WEP key must be used for communication between the client and the AirStation.

An access point and client may both carry multiple WEP keys. It is necessary for not only the WEP keys to match, but also the WEP key’s order. If a wireless client cannot support multiple WEP keys, the AirStations must be confi gured to transmit key number 1 for a connection to take place.

Examples of WEP key:

64-bit ASCII: 5 digits of alphanumeric characters, “ab34Y”

128-bit ASCII: 13 digits of alphanumeric characters, “123456abcdef7”

Note: ASCII WEP keys are case sensitive.

64-bit HEX: 10 digits, using characters 0-9 and a-f, “00234ABCDE”
