WEP Encryption Key Setting

The default state in Encryption Setting is WEP disabled. Check “Enable WEP” to enable the encryption.

For more WEP key setting, Click “WEP

Encryption Key Setting”.

Three authentication modes are available: Open System, Shared Key and Auto.The Open System uses a default key to authenticate the station and Access Point. Once both parties are authenticated, the station is allowed to send and

receive data from the network. However, the data is not encrypted.

In Shared Key system, the station and Access Point authenticate each other. The data frame is also encrypted by the WEP key.

In Auto Mode, the Access Point takes control of network security setting and station will follow the setting required from AP.
