Parameter

Description

Encryption Mode

None – Disable the WEP Data Encryption.

 

WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is

 

selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys.

 

TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the

 

temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message

 

transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security

 

than the standard WEP security.

 

AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of

 

security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most

 

advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the

 

wireless network.

 

Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption

 

method to ensure the communication.

WPA Pre-Shared Key

The WPA-PSK key can be from eight to 64 characters and can be

 

letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the

 

wireless stations in the network.

WEP Key

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the

(Key1 ~ Key4)

wireless network. There are two types of key length: 64-bit and

 

128-bit. Select the default encryption key from Key 1 to Key 4 by

 

selected the radio button.

 

Fill the text box by following the rules below.

 

64-bit– Input 10-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”

 

range) or 5-digit ASCII characters (including “a-z” and “0-9”) as

 

the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“ or “test1”.

 

128-bit– Input 26-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”

 

range) or 13-digit ASCII characters (including “a-z” and “0-9”) as

 

the encryption keys. For example:

 

“01234567890123456789abcdef“ or “administrator”.
