Security
Security System
Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected
method:
•
Disabled - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID
can connect to your network.
•
WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before
transmission, but the encryption system is not very strong.
•
WPA/WPA2 Personal - Like WEP, data is encrypted before
transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be
used if possible. WPA Personal is the version of WPA which
does NOT require a Radius Server on your LAN.
WEP
Authentication Type Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If that
fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or "Shared
Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to see what
method to use.
Note: In Infrastructure mode, either setting will normally work,
since most Access Points can use both methods.
WEP Encryption Select the WEP Encryption level:
•
64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars)
•
128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars)
•
64 Bit Keys (5 ASCII chars)
•
128 Bit Keys (13 ASCII chars)
Passphrase Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box
and click the "Generate Keys" button to automatically configure the
WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is set to 64-bit, then each of the
four key fields will be populated with key values. If encryption
strength is set to 128-bit, then only the selected WEP key field will
be given a key value.
WEP Keys
•
Use the radio buttons to select the default key.
•
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have
the same key values.
•
Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits (0 ~
9) and the letters A ~ F.
•
Click Clear Keys to set the Keys to be blank.
WPA/WPA2 Personal
Shared Key Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived from the
network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same network
key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
