Authentication: One of the following authentication modes should be selected if WEP
security method is used:
Open System - station is authenticated automatically by AP.
Shared Key - station is authenticated after the challenge, generated by AP.
Encryption: 64-bit (selected by default) or 128-bit WEP Key length should be selected. The
128-bit option will provide a bit higher level of wireless security.
For 64-bit-specify WEP key as 10 Hex (0-9, A-F or a-f) characters (e.g. 00112233AA)
or 5 ASCII characters.
For 128-bit-specify WEP key as 26 Hex (0-9, A-F or a-f) characters (e.g.
00112233445566778899AABBCC) or 13 ASCII characters.
Encryption Key
Key Input Method: Hexadecimal (selected by default) or ASCII option specifies the character
format for the WEP key.
5.3.2.2 WPA/WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most dominating security mechanism in industry. It is separated
into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK), and WPA-Enterprise or
called WPA/802.1x.
WPA2: it means Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, it is the current most secure method of wireless security
and required for 802.11n performance. This mode allows you to choose TKIP+AES Algorithm. If you
choose Enterprise related modes, you are required to enter RADIUS Server.
WPA Algorithms
TKIP --Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is one cipher for data encryption supported by
WPA.
AES --also know as CCMP, Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code
