Parameter

Description

 

static key (a hexadecimal or alphanumeric string). Every user or

 

device on the network shares the same key. WEP encryption is

 

used along with shared key authentication, using the same key for

 

both authentication and encryption.

 

A network using server-based (WPA-PSK) authentication provides

 

significantly stronger security, and is supported in most wireless

 

access points and wireless routers. The access point or router

 

verifies the identity of a user or device requesting access to the

 

network before granting that access. Several different

 

authentication protocols might be used on an authentication server.

 

Note Shared key and WPA-PSK authentication can only be

 

entered through the Embedded Web Server.

Encryption

The type of encryption in use on the network:

 

None: no encryption is in use.

 

64-bit WEP: a 5-character or 10-hex-digit WEP key is in use.

 

128-bit WEP: a 13-character or 26-hex-digit WEP key is in use.

 

WPA-AES: Advanced Encryption Standard encryption is in

 

use. This is an encryption algorithm for securing sensitive but

 

unclassified material by US Government agencies.

 

WPA-TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, an advanced

 

encryption protocol, is in use.

 

Automatic: AES or TKIP is in use.

type.

 

WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves

 

so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to

 

another. This security method is common on wireless networks.

Access Point

The hardware address of the access point on the network to which

<MAC address>: the unique MAC (media access control)

 

hardware address of the access point.
