10. Authentication Mode
Four authentication methods are supported: Open and Shared. Select Open , your
wireless network would be intruded by anonymous. Not only your network bandwidth
would be shared; but also transmitting data might be intercepted. Select Shared
function and it can be taken effect.
11. Encrpt Type – WEP
There are two types of encrypt type can be selected, including WEP and WPA.
WEP Encryption
Enabling WEP can protect your data from eavesdroppers. If you do not need this
feature, select “None” to skip the following setting. The GR-1100 supports both
64-bit and 128-bit encryption using the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm.
Select the type of encryption you want to use (64 or 128 bit) and configure one to
four WEP Keys. The “128-bit” method is more secure than the “64-bit”.
Key Type
For 64bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digitals can be
inputed. For 128bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
digits can be inputed.
Note: 128 bits WEP is most secure, but has more encryption/decryption overhead. Note
that all wireless devices must support the same WEP encryption bit size and have
the same key. Four keys can be inputed here, but only one key can be selected at
a time. The keys can be inputed in ASCII or Hexadecimal. Select the item from
drop-down list you wish to use.
Pass phrase
Automatically generate four WEP keys. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal
digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit in the
WEP drop-down menu. Type a combination of up to 64 letters, numbers, or
symbols in the blank, the GR-1100 uses an algorithm to generate four WEP keys
for encryption. If you want to type in the keys manually, leave this filed blank.
Note: This function eases users from having to remember their passwords. But this isn’t
as secure as manual assignment.
WEP Key 1~4
At most four keys can be set. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits
(0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit in the WEP
drop-down list. The GR-1100 must have at least the same default key.
