PLANET WNL-9310 User Manual
Security Off
– Disable the encryption mode.
WEP
– Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is
selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys.
TKIP
– TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the
temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message
transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security
than the standard WEP security.
AES
– AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of
security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most
advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the
wireless network.
Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption
method to ensure the communication.
Create with
Passphrase
Enable this check box and enter a word or group of printable
characters in the Passphrase box, select the desired encryption to
automatically configure the WEP Key.
Enter Key Manually
Enable this check box and select the desired key in the drop down
list. Then enter the key values you wish to use and select the
desired encryption. Other stations must have matching key values.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless
network. There are two types of key length: 64Bits and 128Bits.
Fill the text box by following the rules below.
64Bits
– Input 10-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”
range) as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“.
128Bits
– Input 26-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”
range) as the encryption keys. For example:
“01234567890123456789abcdef“.
Passphraes
The WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK can be from 8 to 64 characters and can
be letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the
wireless stations in the network. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit
key derived from this key.
Confirm
For WAP-PSK and WAP2-PSK modes, re-enter the value in this
filed.
802.1x Authentication
Protocol
The EAP authentication protocols this device has supported are
included as follows. This setting has to be consistent with the
wireless APs or Routers that the card intends to connect.
For WPA Radius and WPA2 Radius modes, select the desired
option in the drop-down list.
EAP/TLS (User Certificate)
–EAP/TLS is the most secure of the
EAP protocols but not easy to use. It requires that digital certificates
be exchanged in the authentication phase. The server presents a
