SSID Broadcast: Enable or disable the SSID broadcast.

yEnabled: The E960 broadcasts the SSID of the WLAN, and users can easily access the WLAN. Unauthorized users, however, can also easily access the WLAN because the SSID is broadcasted.

yDisabled: The E960 does not broadcast the SSID of the WLAN. Before accessing the WLAN, the user must obtain the SSID of the WLAN. Thus, the WLAN security is improved.

Note:

For the convenience of the client accessing the WLAN, you can select Enabled for SSID Broadcast when you configure the WLAN setting. Once you finish setting up the WLAN, you can disable the SSID broadcast to improve the security of the WLAN.

Configuring the WLAN Encryption Mode

To access the wireless network, you must set the wireless security key of your PC be consistent with that of the wireless gateway.

No Encryption

For the convenience of the client accessing the WLAN, you can set the Encryption mode to NO ENCRYPTION when you set up a WLAN. In daily use, however, this option is not recommended for the security of the WLAN.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

yWPA-PSKis a 256-bit data encryption method that can automatically change the key.

yWPA2-PSKis a more secure version of WPA-PSK, and it supports the IEEE 802.11 standard.

yWPA Encryption is algorithms for selecting the WPA data encryption. There are three algorithms: TKIP, AES, and TKIP+AES.

yWPA Pre-Shared Key: You can enter 64-character hexadecimal value or 8–63-character ASCII value as the key. The ASCII value contains all characters that can be entered through the PC keyboard, and the hexadecimal value contains numbers of 0–9 and characters of A–F. For example, you can enter the ASCII value of 1234abcde as the key.

yNetwork Key Rotation Interval: It is used to set how long a network key is dynamically changed. By default, it is 0. To disable this function, you can set the value to 0 or Null.

WEP

Wireless Equivalent Privacy, a 64-bit or 128-bit data encryption method. The 128-bit WEP encryption provides higher security level.

Network key 1: You can enter 5 ASCII characters or 10-character hexadecimal numeral to form a 64-bit key. You can also enter 13 ASCII characters or 26-character hexadecimal numeral to form a 128-bit key.
