Security

Security System

Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method:

Disabled - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network.

WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption system is not very strong.

WPA/WPA2 Personal - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA Personal is the version of WPA which does NOT require a Radius Server on your LAN.

WEP

Authentication Type

Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If that

 

fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or "Shared

 

Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to see what

 

method to use.

 

Note: In Infrastructure mode, either setting will normally work,

 

since most Access Points can use both methods.

 

 

WEP Encryption

Select the WEP Encryption level:

 

64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars)

 

128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars)

 

64 Bit Keys (5 ASCII chars)

 

128 Bit Keys (13 ASCII chars)

 

 

Passphrase

Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box

 

and click the "Generate Keys" button to automatically configure the

 

WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is set to 64-bit, then each of the

 

four key fields will be populated with key values. If encryption

 

strength is set to 128-bit, then only the selected WEP key field will

 

be given a key value.

 

 

WEP Keys

Use the radio buttons to select the default key.

 

Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have

 

 

the same key values.

 

Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits (0 ~

 

 

9) and the letters A ~ F.

 

Click Clear Keys to set the Keys to be blank.

 

 

 

WPA/WPA2 Personal

Shared Key

Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
