alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember.

Default Tx Key: You may choose one of your 4 different WEP keys from below.

Encryption Key 1-4: You may enter four different WEP keys.

￿Security: WPA pre-shared key

WPA Type: Select TKIP or AES. The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. Note that, if the bridge uses the AES option, the bridge can associate with the access point only if the access point is also set to use only AES.

Pre-shared Key Type: The Key Type can be passphrase or Hex format.

Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client.
