Encryption Key Configuration
As mentioned above, there are four encryption keys that can be
configured through the control panel. For each encryption key x
(where x can be 1 to 4), the following control menu can be used to
configure the key:
•WEP Key x Format
This is the format of the key. It can be set to either ASCII or
Hexadecimal.
•WEP Key x Width
This is the number of bits used for encryption. This can be set to
either 40 Bits or 128 Bits and must match the Access Point's
configuration.
•WEP Key X
This is the key value. If the "KEY WIDTH" is set to 40 Bits, the key
values can be entered in the following 5 sub menus
(BYTE 1, …, BYTE 5). If the "KEY WIDTH" is set to 128 Bits, the
key values can be entered in the following 13 sub menus
(BYTE 1, …, BYTE 13). The key values must configure to match
the corresponding key in the Access Point's key configuratio n.
Authentication Method
This feature allows the user to select the authentication method
used for the wireless network interface. The options include open,
shared, kerberos, and leap.
