Setup
Wireless Security
This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the
Wireless
screen.
There are 3 options for Wireless security:
•
Disabled
- no data encryption is used.
•
WEP
- data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
•
WPA-PSK
- data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later stan-
dard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless
stations support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.

64 Bit

being transmitted. You must enter at least the default key.
For 64 Bit Encryption, the key size is 10 chars in HEX (0~9
and A~F).
•
128 Bit
- data is encrypted, using the default key, before
being transmitted. You must enter at least the default key.
For 128 Bit Encryption, the key size is 26 chars in HEX (0~9

Type
Normally, this should be left at the default value of "Automatic".
If changed to "Open System" or "Shared Key", ensure that your
Wireless Stations use the same setting.
Default Key
Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is
ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are
for decryption only.
