Moreover, the wireless 3-in-1 AP provides three types of authentication services:
Auto
,
Open System
and
Shared
Key
. The default authentication type is
Auto
.
Open System
requires no authentication since it allows any device
to join a network without performing any security check. If you require higher security for wireless access, you may
select
Shared Key
. Note that when Shared Key is selected, a WEP key is required and must be the same between
the Access Point and client.
For 40bit encryption you may choose:
ASCII:
Enter
5 characters
(case sensitive) ranging from a-z, A-Z and 0-9 (e.g.
MyKey
).
Hex:
Alternatively, you may enter
10 hexadecimal digits
in the range of A -F, a-f and 0-9 (e.g.
11AA22BB33
).
For 128bit encryption you may choose:
ASCII:
Enter
13 characters
(case sensitive) ranging from a-z, A-Z and 0-9 (e.g.
MyKey12345678
).
Hex:
Alternatively, you may enter
26 hexadecimal digits
in the range of A-F, a-f and 0-9 (e.g.
00112233445566778899AABBCC
)
After entering the WEP keys in the key field, select one key as active key.
Alternatively, you may create encryption keys automatically by using Passphrase. From the Passphrase field,
type a character string and click
Generate
. As you type, the wireless 3-in-1 AP will use an algorithm to generate 4
keys automatically. Select one key from the 4 WEP keys.
For W PA-PSK mode you may choose:
In the W PA-PSK field, you may input 8-63 characters ranging from a-z, A-Z and 0-9 or 64 hexadecimal digits form
A-F, a-f and 0-9. If you require that access to the Internet or other wireless network services are allowed only when
the pre-shared key of the 3-in-1 AP matches that of the device you want to communicate.
