Wireless-G Access Point
RADIUS
. This option features WEP used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a
RADIUS server is connected to the Access Point.) First, enter the RADIUS server’s IP Address and port number,
along with a key shared between the Access Point and the server. Then, select a Default Transmit Key (choose
which Key to use), and a level of WEP encryption,
64 bits 10 hex digits
or
128 bits 26 hex digits
. Last, either
generate a WEP key using the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually.
WEP
. WEP is a basic encryption method, which is not as secure as WPA. To use WEP, select a Default Transmit Key
(choose which Key to use), and a level of WEP encryption,
64 bits 10 hex digits
or
128 bits 26 hex digits
. Then
either generate a WEP key using the Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually.
