Parameter

Description

 

 

Authentication Type

This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that

 

the adapter intends to connect to. All security keys within a

 

network must match to allow successful communications.

 

Open – No authentication is needed among the wireless network.

 

Shared – Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP Key

 

identified) are allowed to connecting each other.

 

LEAP – Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. Allows

 

dynamic WEP keys and mutual authentication between a wireless

 

client and a RADIUS server. LEAP allows for clients to

 

reauthenticate frequently; upon each successful authentication,

 

the clients acquire a new WEP key

 

WPA-PSK– It is a special mode designed for home and small

 

business users who do not have access to network authentication

 

servers. In this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the user

 

manually enters the starting password in their access point or

 

gateway, as well as in each wireless stations in the network. WPA

 

takes over automatically from that point, keeping unauthorized

 

users that don't have the matching password from joining the

 

networ k, while encrypting the data traveling between authorized

 

devices. The encryption methods are including TKIP and AES.

 

Note that this option is only available for Windows XP.

 

WPA2 – This mode complies with the 802.11i standard. Option

 

available on Windows XP computers only.

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 Integ rity 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.
