Note
Function
Encryption Mode
Here, you specify which encryption method is to be used to
communicate with the AP. In principle, the AP specifies which
method is used on the WLAN network defined by
SSID
.
For WPA encryption, the WPA / WPA2(/WPA3) (automa
-
tic selection) setting is recommended.
Keying Protocol
only for WPA(2)
Here, you can set which protocol is selected for key transmis
-
sion with WPA. Only in exceptional cases, something other
than
Auto
should be chosen.
Key
for WEP
Here the WEP key is specified as a 10 or 26 digit
hex value
. An
example: If the WEP key consists of the
ABCDE
characters, the
correct input is
4142434445
.
for WPA
The
pass phrase
is specified here. This string must be at least 8
and can be a maximum of 63 characters long. There are appli
-
cations where the key must be specified as a 32 byte long hex
value. If the character string specified here is exactly 64 charac
-
ters long, a 32-byte long hex value is formed and stored as a
key.
