Parameter Description
Authentication
This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that the card
intends to connect.
Open System
– No authentication is needed among the wireless
network.
Shared Key
– Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP Key
identified) are allowed to connecting each other.
Auto Switch
– Auto switch the authentication algorithm depending on the
wireless networks that the card is connecting to.
Default Key
(Key1 ~ Key4)
Select the default encryption key from Key 1 to Key 4 by selected the
radio button. The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the
wireless network. Fill the text box by following the rules below.
64-bit
– Input 10-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) as
the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“.
128-bit
– Input 26-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) as
the encryption keys. For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef“.
152-bit
– Input 32-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) as
the encryption keys. For example:
“012345678901234567890abcdefabcdef“.
Encryption Key Length
You may select the 64-bit, 128-bit or 152-bit to encrypt transmitted data.
Larger key length will provide higher level of security, but the throughput
will be lower.
