Select SSID

Your Service Set Identifier (SSID), sets your Wireless Network Name. You can connect multiple

 

devices including Laptops, Desktop PCs and PDAs to your Wireless Router. To get additional

 

devices connected, scan for a network, and locate the SSID shown on your Wireless Security

 

Card. If the SSID does not match, access is denied.

 

 

Network

This option is used for authentication to the wireless network. Each authentication type has

Authentication

its own settings as illustrated below. For example, selecting 802.1X authentication will reveal

 

the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields.

 

WEP Encryption will also be enabled.

The settings for WPA authentication are shown below.

WEP Encryption

This option indicates whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same network

 

key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Whilst four network keys can be

 

defined, only one can be used at any one time.

 

Use the network key found in the drop down list.

 

 

Encryption

This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled.

Strength

The key strength is proportional to the number of binary bits comprising the key.

 

 

This means that keys with a greater number of bits have a greater degree of security and are

 

considerably more difficult to crack. Encryption strength can be set to either 64-bit or 128-

 

bit. A 64-bit key is equivalent to 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal numbers. A 128-bit

 

key contains 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal numbers. FYI: Each key contains a

 

24-bit header (an initiation vector) which enables parallel decoding of multiple streams of

 

encrypted data.
