CNET CIC-930W manual Security, WPA/WPA2 Personal

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.
