Key Length (2):

There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using ‘128-bit’ is safer

 

than ’64-bit’, but will reduce some data transfer performance.

 

 

Key Format (3):

There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex. When you select a key format, the number of

 

characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you select ’64-bit’ as key length, and ‘Hex’ as

 

key format, you’ll see the message at the right of ‘Key Format’ is ‘Hex (10 characters), which means

 

the length of WEP key is 10 characters.

 

 

Default Tx Key (4):

You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can decide which key is being used by default

 

here. If you don’t know which one you should use, select ‘Key 1’.

 

 

Encryption Key 1 to 4

Input WEP key characters here, the number of characters must be the same as the number

(5-8):

displayed at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if

 

you select ‘ASCII’ key format, and if you select ‘Hex’ as key format, you can use characters 0-9, a-f,

 

and A-F. You must enter at least one encryption key here, and if you entered multiple WEP keys,

 

they should not be same with each other.

 

 

Enable 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this

Authentication (9):

wireless router before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS

 

server. This mode only authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encryption the data

 

during communication. If there is a RADIUS server in you environment, please enable this function.
