Item Description
HW Mode HW mode of WiFi standard the access point (AP) will support.
•
IEE 802.11b
• IEE 802.11b+g
•
IEE 802.11b+g+n
Channel Channel where the WiFi AP is transmitting
BW 40 MHz Option for HW mode 802.11n that allows using of two standard
20 MHz channels simultaneously.
Option is available in the STA
mode also and it has to be enabled in both – the AP and STA mode
if using the high throughput mode.
WMM Enables basic QoS for WiFi networks. This version doesn’t guaran-
tee network throughput. It is suitable for simple applications requiring
QoS.
Authentication Provides access control of authorized users in WiFi network:
•
Open – authentication is not required (free access point)
•
Shared
– base authentication using WEP key
• WPA-PSK – authentication using better authentication method
PSK-PSK
• WPA2-PSK – authentication using AES encryption
Encryption Type of data encryption in WiFi network:
• None – No data encryption
•
WEP – Encryption using static WEP keys. This encryption can
be used for Shared authentication.
•
TKIP – Dynamic management of encryption keys which can be
used for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication.
•
AES – Improved encryption used for WPA2-PSK authentication
WEP Key Type Type of WEP key for WEP encryption:
•
ASCII – WEP key is entered in ASCII format
• HEX – WEP key is entered in hexadecimal format
WEP Default Key Specifies default WEP key
