Authentication Type:
Open Authentication
– (Default) No authentication. It is recommend to use this standard
option over the shared authentication.
Shared Authentication
– May not be compatible with all the access points, and it is not
recommended.
Key Type:
HEX
or
ASCII
option specifies the character format for the WEP key if WEP security method is used.
Current Key:
Specify the index of the WEP key used. Four different WEP keys can be
configured at the same time, but only one is used.
WEP Key:
The WEP encryption key for the wireless traffic encryption and decryption should
be specified if the WEP security method is used.
WEP Key Length:
o
64-bit (selected by default) or 128-bit WEP key length should be selected if the WEP
security method is used. The 128-bit option will provide a higher level of security.
o
For
64-bi
t
– specify the WEP key as 5 HEX (0-9, A-F or a-f) pairs (e.g. 00112233AA) or 5
ASCII characters.
o
For
128-bit
– specify the WEP key as 13 HEX (0-9, A-F or a-f) pairs
(e.g. 00112233445566778899AABBCC) or 13 ASCII characters.
7.3.5 Virtual Access Point (VAP)
Virtual AP (VAP) implements Multi-SSID (mSSID) whereby a single wireless card can be setup with up
to three virtual SSID of BSSID connections. Each VAP can be set with a different security
authentication mode.
Virtual AP (Only Available in Access Point/ Access Point WDS Mode)
All VAPs are created from the same radio and they all share the same wireless channel, country code,
channel spectrum width and transmit power.
** Note: Security options like IEEE802.1x and WPA-EAP use the radius server for authentication
and accounting modes. The user may not use a different secret key for each VAP, otherwise the
user should configure only for one SSID with radius authentication.
