LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Wireless Security	Setup
Select SSID	Select the desired Service Set Identity (SSID).
Encryption	Choose the encryption security type, WEP. The other
	encryption security options are: WPA, WPA2, WPA-Mixed, and
	Disable. The default is Disable.
Authentication	Select Open System, Shared Key, or Auto authentication.
	Auto is the default. This specifies whether the wireless clients
	have to provide the WEP key to login to the wireless client. Most
	users keep this setting at Auto or Open System unless they
	want to force a key verification before communication between
	the wireless client and the FSG1100HN occurs. Selecting
	Shared Key forces clients to provide the WEP key prior to
	communication.
Key Length	Select the level of encryption, 64-bitor 128-bit.
Key Format	Select ASCII (5 characters) or Hex (10 characters). American
	Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is a system
	using alphanumeric characters. ASCII strings are automatically
	converted to hexadecimal format for use over a network. Hex
	uses the actual hexadecimal format based on the numbers 0 to
	9 and the letters A to F.
Encryption	Keys are used to encrypt data. Both the FSG1100HN and the
Key 1	wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data
to 4	transmission. If you chose 64-bit, then enter any five ASCII
	characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). If you
	chose 128-bit, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26
	hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). At least one key must be
	configured and up to four keys overall can be configured.
	However, only one key can be activated at any
	single time. The default key is Encryption Key 1.
Apply	Click Apply to save your changes back to the FSG1100HN.
Reset	Click Reset to reset the settings on this screen.
