Access Control of
Wireless LAN Inter-
face
For additional security,
Access Control
allows restricting the network access to a list
of pre-determined network clients.
Each Ethernet interface card has a unique serial number called a MAC address. With
this feature enabled, only those network clients whose MAC addresses are listed here
will be allowed to access the wireless LAN.

WEP 64 Bit:
For 64bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters or
10 hexadecimal digitals leading by
0x
can be entered. For
example
ABCDE
or
0x4142434445.

WEP 128 Bit:
For 128bits 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal digits leading by
0x
can be entered. For example,
ABCDEFGHIJKLM
or
0x4142434445464748494A4B4C4D.
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 entered here, but only one key can be selected at a time. The
keys can be entered in ASCII or Hexadecimal.

OK:
To save the WEP settings.
Mode:
To improve the security and privacy of your wireless data packets one of the
following encryption feature can be used.
- Disable:
Thurn off the encryption mechanism.
- WEP Only:
Accepts only WEP clients and the encryption key should be entered
in WEP Key.
- WEP/802.1x Only:
Accepts only WEP clients and the encryption key is got
dynamically through 802.1x.
- WEP or WPA/PSK:
Accepts WEP and WPA clients simultaneously and the
encryption key should be entered in WEP Key and PSK respectively.
- WEP/802.1x or WPA/802.1x:
Accepts WEP and WPA clients simultaneously
and the encryption key is got dynamically through 802.1x.
- WPA/PSK Only:
Accepts only WPA clients and the encryption key should be
entered in PSK.
- WPA/802.1x Only:
Accepts only WPA clients and the encryption key is got
dynamically through 802.1x.
NOTE:
You should also set RADIUS Server if
WEP/802.1x or WPA/802.1x
,
WEP/802.1x Only
or
WPA/802.1x Only
mode is selected.
WPA Encryption:
The WPA encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using the pre-shared
key (PSK) entered from this panel or a key got dynamically through 802.1x.
Pre-Shared Key (PSK):
Either 8~63 ASCII characters or 64 Hexadecimal digits
leading by 0x can be entered. For example "0123456789ABCD...." or
"0x321253abcde.....".
