3.4.3.2 Security
This page allows you can configure security features of the WLAN interface. You can set
the network authentication method, selecting data encryption, specify whether a network
key is required to authenticate to this wireless network and specify the encryption strength.
This device is equipped with 802.1x and WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the latest
security standard. It also supports the legacy security standard, WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled and authentication is open. Before
enabling the security, consider your network size, complexity, and existing authentication
infrastructure and then determine which solution applies to it.
Encryption:
Select the Encryption mode for Authentication. There are seven modes for select.
None / WEP / WPA (TKIP) / WPA (AES) / WPA2 (TKIP) / WPA2 (AES
）
/ WPA2 Mixed.
- None:
The data is not encrypted when it is transferred from the device to the client station. This is
the default option.
- WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy):
Encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless network. After you select WEP,
you can click the
“Set WEP Key”
button for further settings.
