Appendix B: RF Network Configuration B - 13
Open System
(no encryption) Select this option when no data packet encryption is needed over the network.
This option provides no security for data transmitted over the network. The
window displays only the
OK and Cancel buttons.
WEP Select this option to use WEP keys for encryption. The window displays several
radio buttons and edit buttons to configure the WEP keys.
Specify the keylength by selecting the 40-bit or the 128-bit radio button (128-bit
is the default). Enter WEP keys in the edit boxes. The number of edit boxes is
determined by the selected key length (10 Hex digit value for 40 bit keys, 26 Hex
digit values for 128-bit keys).
Use the
Key
radio buttons to configure the four WEP keys. The adapter uses the
selected key. Select the ResetKeys button to set the encryption key to the
default values.
The default Hex digit keys are visible any time they are used. As a security
precaution the WEP keys appear in asterisks ("*") within the Encryption key
fields.
If the associated access point uses an optional Passkey, the "active" adapter
WLAN profile must use a Passkey as well. The Passkey is a plain text
representation of the WEP keys displayed in the Encryption property window.
Use the Passkey to enter WEP key data without having to remember the entire
40-bit (10 character) or 128-bit (26 character) Hex digit string.
Tap
Passkey . On the
Passkey
screen, enter an easy-to-remember character
string in the range 4 to 32 to use as the WEP algorithm, then select OK . The
access point transforms the Passkey string into a set of four WEP keys using
MD5 algorithms and displays them in the WEP fields. The selected adapter
profile uses these new WEP keys, and behaves as if the keys were entered
manually.
TKIP (WPA) Select this option for the client adapter to use Wireless Protected Access (WPA)
through TKIP. Enter the pre-shared keys in the edit boxes. Tap
ClearKey to clear
all keys and enter new key values. Tap Passkey to display the
Passkey
screen.
Enter an easy-to-remember 8 to 63 character string.
