Chapter 4 Configuration

Parameter	Meaning
Wireless encryption	You may use any of the following types of encryption:
	No encryption

Data is transmitted without encryption. Avoid this option since any communication may be intercepted.

[No encryption] can be selected only when [No authentication] is selected for Wireless authentication.

WEP

WEP is a common encryption method supported by most devices. Use an encryption key to communicate with a wireless device.

WEP can only be selected when [No authentication] is selected for Wireless authentication.

TKIP

TKIP is an encryption method which is more secure than WEP, but slower. Use an pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless device.

TKIP can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for Wireless authentication.

AES

AES is more secure than TKIP, and faster. Use a pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless device.

AES can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for Wireless authentication.

	TKIP/AES mixed mode
	TKIP/AES mixed mode allows both TKIP and AES authentication
	and communication.
	TKIP/AES mixed mode can be selected only when WPA/WPA2
	mixed mode - PSK is selected for Wireless authentication.
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)	A pre-shared key or passphrase is the [password] for your wireless
	connections. There are two different formats for a pre-shared
	key. Use 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) for an ASCII
	passphrase, or use 64 digits using 0 to 9 and a to f (not case-sensitive) for a
	hexadecimal passphrase..
Rekey interval	Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440
	(minutes).
