WEP WEP
offers
the
following
options:
•
Open System
With Open Network Authentication and 64- or 128-
bit WEP data encryption, the PL9571-WAP does
perform 64- or 128-bit data encryption but does not
perform any authentication
•
Shared Key
Shared Key authentication encrypts the SSID and
data. Choose the encryption strength (64- or 128-
bit data encryption). Manually enter the key
values which are case sensitive
WPA-Personal /
WPA2-Personal
WPA supports two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with
dynamic encryption keys. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or
AES. (AES is a stronger encryption method than TKIP.)
WPA-Pre-Shared Key
(PSK) performs authentication,
dynamically changes the encryption keys, making it nearly
impossible to circumvent.
Group Key Renewal
is the Key Renewal period, which tells
the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.
The default Group Key Renewal period is 3600 seconds.
WPA- Enterprise /
WPA2-Enterprise
This option features WPA used in coordination with Auth
Server (This should only be used when a Auth server is
connected to the PL9571.)
The Auth Server IP, Port, and Secret (pass code) need to be
configured in this mode.
802.1x
This option features 802.1xused in coordination with Auth
Server (This should only be used when a Auth server is
connected to the PL9571.)
The Auth Server IP, Port, and Secret (pass code) need to be
configured in this mode.
