Defining Security Settings (Access Point Mode Only)
To define Security settings:

Configuration
and from the Navigation Panel, click
Security Settings
. The Configuration, Security
Settings window appears.
The VXT1836 device can be configured to operate in one of the following security modes:
Unsecured
– Wireless security is disabled, any client can associate to the VXT1836
Access Point and the wireless signal is passed unencrypted.
WEP
– Stands for Wireless Equivalent Privacy. It is the legacy 802.11 security standard
and provides only basic security. WEP can be easily cracked and it is recommended to
use WPA2 instead.
WPA2/PSK
- Stands for WiFi Protected Access. It is based on the IEEE 802.11i standard
and uses AES/TKIP encryption algorithm. WPA2 is much more secure then WEP, it
provides best in class encryption and user authentication. It is recommended that you
enable WPA2 at all times.
To be able to use Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) features (See at page 32), it is required
that you enable the WPA2/PSK security mode.
