3.3.3Wireless Authentication

EKI-1351 and EKI-1352 now support WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption operation mode. WEP is a kind of standard to encrypt the data frame. We will enhance other encryption mode in future.

l Authentication Type: There are three kinds of types in this drop-down menu.

lOpen System: No encryption for network communication. You can neglect the key setting on the right side.

lWEP Share Key: Both communication devices use the same key as encryp- tion.

lAutomatic: Detect the WEP situation of the access point automatically. EKI- 1351 and EKI-1352 will use the current key for encryption. If EKI-1351/ 1352’s key does not coincide with the access point’s key, the user should reset the same key and reboot to connect.

lEncryption: If the system needs WEP encryption, the user has to set the key

type. There are two kinds of encryption keys: 64 bits and 128 bits. For an open system, the encryption function is disabled.

lKey Format: The table shows the allowed characters and length of the different key index and key formats.
