WPAX Passphrase
Select the password consists of up to 63 characters.
Note:
Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more for
maximum security. Spaces and punctuation characters are permitted. The
passphrase input is not the same as ASCII input (as used on some products.)
ASCII is translated directly into hexadecimal bytes according to the ASCII table,
while a possibly larger passphrase is hashed into a key and provides better
security through a larger range of key values. This configuration option becomes
available only when suites, WEP, WPA or WPA2 are selected.
WPAx Encryption
Select one or more encryption types, listed from strongest to least strong. At least
one selection will have to match the Access Points intended to connect with.
CCMP
= Uses AES as basis and is the strongest encryption option.
TKIP
= Uses WEP as the basis, but adds extra checks and variations for added
protection.
Note:
In case the encryption settings on the Access Point(s) can still be chosen,
the capabilities of the Access Point(s) and the other clients that need to use the
network need to be taken into account.This configuration option becomes
available only when suites WPA or WPA2 are selected.
