which is used to authenticate another device. Choose either TKIP or AES as the encryption mode in the Data encryption field. To use a WPA Pre-Shared key, enter a password in the WPA Pre-shared key field that is between 8 and 63 characters.

❑Data encryption: Indicates the data encryption method. The encryption mode you select must match the encryption mode used in the wireless LAN.

Choose from the following options:

-None: Indicates no data encryption takes place.

-WEP: Indicates the WEP encryption mode.

-TKIP: Indicates the TKIP encryption mode. See the WPA Settings below.

-AES: Indicates the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption mode. See the WPA Settings below.

WEP Key Setting...: When implementing WEP security, this section is used for WEP Key configuration.

❑Default: Indicates the number of security keys. You can create up to 4 security keys.

❑Key Length: Indicates the length of the security key. Select 64bits, 128bits, or 256bits.

❑Hex or ASCII network key: Indicates the value of the security key. Choose from the following values:

-Hex: Indicates hexadecimal value. Digits from 0 to 9 and the letters A through F are accepted. This value must be 10 characters in length.

-ASCII: Indicates the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. This code represents English letters as numbers 0 through 127. This value must be 5 characters in length.

WPA Setting: When implementing WPA or WPA-PSK, use this section to complete your configuration. You must configure the appropriate settings.

❑EAP Type: Select an EAP Type from a drop down list of EAP types. Choose between the following options:

—TLS: Indicates the Transport Layer Security protocol. Once you select TLS, click Configuration. The AT- WCU200G Wireless Configuration utility searches your computer for certificates. Select a certificate and click OK.
