Wireless Network Security

Security

As a security measure, enable WEP, WPA, or WPA2/802.11i on the XPress DR+W. WPA and WPA2/802/11i are not available when Ad Hoc is the network type. By default, wireless security is disabled.

Note: The WPA2/802.11i mode complies with the Robust Secure Network specified in the IEEE standard 802.11i. It enables the AES-based strong CCMP encryption.

WEP Options

Authentication

Select an authentication scheme (Open/None or Shared)

 

from the drop down menu.

 

 

Encryption

Select the encryption type (64 bit or 128 bit for WEP) from the

 

pull-down menu. 64 bit is the default encryption for WEP.

Key Type

Select the key type (Hex or Passphrase).

 

 

Key and Retype Key

If the selected key type is Hex: Enter the Encryption Key

 

as a hexadecimal value according the following guidelines:

 

Valid Hex alphanumeric characters are 0-9 and A-F.

 

64 bit hex = 5 bytes represented as xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.

 

Example: 01-A3-47-E5-C9

 

128 bit hex = 13 bytes represented as xx-xx-xx-xx-

 

xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.

 

Example:

 

A1-B2-C3-E4-D5-F6-98-74-B7-65-A8-D3-F2

 

If the selected key type is Passphrase: Enter the key as a

 

string. A passphrase is a sentence that is translated into hex

 

by a hashing algorithm.

 

Example: My dog has spots and likes to chase cats.

 

A passphrase of more than 20 characters is recommended.

 

Maximum length is 63 characters, including spaces and

 

punctuation characters.

 

Passphrase input is not the same as ASCII input. The

 

passphrase input is safer because it has up to 63 chars. ASCII

 

input has a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13 (WEP128) bytes

 

and limits the number of key combinations.

WPA Options

Authentication

Select Pre-Shared Keys from the drop-down list.

 

 

Encryption

Select the encryption type from the pull-down menu. TKIP is

 

the default.

 

 

Key Type

Select the key type (Hex or Passphrase).

 

 

Key

Enter the Encryption Key in hexadecimal value if Hex is

 

selected as the key type. Enter the key as a string if

 

Passphrase is selected as the key type. Passphrase input is

 

not the same as ASCII input.

 

A passphrase of more than 20 characters is recommended.

 

Spaces and punctuation characters are permitted.
