Only select this if all clients support WPA2. If selected, you must use | |
version of WPA. | AES encryption and enter the WPA passphrase (Network key). |
This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP) or WPA2 | |
| (with AES). If selected, you must use TKIP + AES encryption and |
| enter the WPA passphrase (Network key). |

a. All options are available if using the default Access Point mode. In other modes (for example, Repeater or Bridge) some options may be unavailable.
•Data Encryption. The available options depend on the Network Authentication setting selected (see Table
Table 2-2. Data Encryption Settings
Data Encryption Type | Description |
|
|
None | No encryption is used. |
|
|
64 bits WEP | Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption. |
|
|
128 bits WEP | Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption. |
|
|
152 bits WEP | Proprietary mode that will only work with other wireless devices that support |
| this mode. |
|
|
TKIP | This is the standard encryption method used with WPA. |
|
|
AES | This is the standard encryption method for WPA2. |
|
|
TKIP + AES | This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For |
| unicast |
| clients use AES. |

•Use of Passphrases and Keys are explained below:
–Passphrase. To use the Passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and click the Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must match the other wireless stations.
–Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data.
