•Shared: Shared key is when both the sender and the recipient share a secret key.

•LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP authentication type used primarily in Cisco Aironet WLANs. It encrypts data transmissions using dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports mutual authentication (only with CCX mode enabled.)

•WPA/ WPA-PSK/ WPA2/ WPA2-PSK: WPA or WPA-PSK authentications offer two encryption methods, TKIP and AES. For WPA-PSK, select the type of algorithm TKIP or AES and then enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-64 characters in the WPA Pre-shared Key field.

Encryption Type: For Open and Shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption type are None and WEP. For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSKand WPA2-PSKauthentication mode, the encryption type supports both TKIP and AES.

WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared secret key between AP and STA. For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, this field must be filled with character longer than 8 and less than 64 lengths.

WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key must match with the AP’s key. There are four formats to enter the keys.

•ASCII (64 bits): 5 ASCII characters (case sensitivity).

•ASCII (128 bits): 13 ASCII characters (case sensitivity).

•Hexadecimal (64 bits): 10 Hex characters (0~9, a~f).

•Hexadecimal (128 bits): 26 Hex characters (0~9, a~f).

Show Password: Check this box to show the passwords that have been entered.

802.1x Setting: When users use radius server to authenticate client certificate for WPA authentication mode (WPA authentication do not support EAP Method- MD5-Challenge).
