WEP Keys
l
Transmit Key:
Specify the corresponding key of the encryption key used when
communicating with wireless networks using WEP security.
This device allows up to four wireless keys to be set of either 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.
These keys allow the wireless network to traverse different wireless networks without
having to change the wireless key. Instead, only the transmit key setting has to be
changed to specify which wireless key to send.
l
Encryption Keys:
Specify 1 to 4 encryption keys to use when communicating with wireless
networks using WEP security.
The encryption keys is a set of 10 (64-bit) or 26 (128-bit) hexadecimal characters. The
encryption key only contains the characters A-F, a-f, or 0-9. Optionally, you can use
separator characters, such as '-', '_', or '.' to separate the set of characters.
n
WPA PSK (Pre-Shared Key) Passphrase/Confirm
: The passphrase that the Wi-Fi network
uses with WPA pre-shared keys. The pre-shared key is calculated using the passphrase and the
SSID. Therefore, a valid network name must have been previously specified. In the Confirm
field, reenter the passphrase.
n
Username/Password/Confirm
: The user name and password combination used to
authenticate on the network when using these authentication methods: WEP with 802.1x
authentication, WPA with 802.1x authentication, or LEAP. In the Confirm field, reenter the
password.
Wi-Fi 802.1x authentication settings
These settings are not required based on the current Wi-Fi authentication settings. They are only
configurable when
WEP with 802.1x authentication
or
WPA with 802.1x authentication are
enabled on the WiFi Security Settings tab.
n
EAP Methods:
These are the types of Extensible Authentication Protocols (EAP) or outer
protocols that are allowed to establish the initial connection with an authentication server or
access point. These are used with WEP with 802.1x authentication and WPA with 802.1x
authentication.
l
PEAP:
Stands for “Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol.” A user name and
password must be specified to use PEAP.
l
TLS:
Stands for “Transport Layer Security.” A client certificate and private key must be
installed in order to use TLS.
l
TTLS:
Stands for “Tunneled Transport Layer Security.” A user name and password must be
specified to use TTLS.
