   are needed if 

64-bit WEP

 is used; 

26 hexadecimal digits

 or 

13 ASCII characters

 

are needed if

Encryption:  

WPA 

 

  

WPA

: If 

WPA

 is selected, users will have to select the Authentication modes between 

WPA-RADIUS

 and 

Pre-

shared Key

, both modes need to have 

TKIP

 selected. (AES is not functional at present.)   

 

Pre-shared Key 

 

Pre-Shared-Key serves as a password.  Users may key in a 1 to 63 
characters string to set the password or leave it blank, in which the 
802.1x Authentication will be activated.  Make sure the same password 
is used on client's end.  
There are two formats for choice to set the Pre-shared key, i.e. 
Passphrase and Hex. If Hex is selected, users will have to enter a 64 
characters string. For easier configuration, the Passphrase format is 
recommended.
