Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption method to

 

ensure the communication.

WPA Pre-Shared Key

The WPA-PSK key can be from 8 to 64 characters and can be letters or

 

numbers. This same key must be used on all of the wireless stations in the

 

network.

WEP Key

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network.

(Key1 ~ Key4)

There are two types of key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Select the default

 

encryption key from Key 1 to Key 4 by selected the radio button.

 

Fill the text box by following the rules below.

 

64-bit– Input 10-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) or 5-digit

 

ASCII characters (including “a-z” and “0-9”) as the encryption keys. For

 

example: “0123456aef“ or “test1”.

 

128-bit– Input 26-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) or

 

13-digit ASCII characters (including “a-z” and “0-9”) as the encryption keys.

 

For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef“ or “administrator”.

3.2.2.1 802.1x Setting - Certification

The IEEE 802.1X specification describes a protocol that can be used for authenticating both clients and servers on a network. The authentication algorithms and methods are those provided by the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), a method of authentication that has been in use for a number of years on networks that provide Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) support as many internet service providers and enterprises do.

When an AP acting as an authenticator detects a wireless station on the LAN, it sends an EAP-Request for the user's identity to the device. (EAP, or the Extensible Authentication Protocol, is an authentication protocol that runs before network layer protocols transmit data over the link.) In turn, the device responds with its identity, and the AP relays this identity to an authentication server, which is typically an external RADIUS server.
