You can now store four codes in the lower section of the window. The selected code is always used.
64 bit
or
128 bit
encryption is supported. 128 bit encryption is more secure. First select whether you
want to use
Hexadecimal
(allows characters from 0-9 and a-f to be used) or
ASCII
(you can use any
characters). The setting and the selection of either 64 or 128 bit encryption determines the length of the
code to be entered.
WEP 64 bit ASCII requires 5 characters
WEP 64 bit hexadecimal requires 10 characters
WEP 128 bit ASCII requires 13 characters
WEP 128 bit hexadecimal requires 26 characters
Examples:
64 bit hexadecimal (10 characters) = 231074a6ef
64 bit ASCII (5 characters) = j31n.
128 bit hexadecimal (26 characters) = 231074a6b9773ce43f91a5bef3
128 bit ASCII (13 characters) = urla0
8.2.2.2 WPA encryption
Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA)
is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture,
but offers additional protection via dynamic codes, which are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP), and also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) or extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for user authentica-
tion. However, a radius server is required for this.
WPA offers two types of authentication, either pre-shared key or authentication via special authentication
protocols, which are generally variations of EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol)
. An authentication
server
(RADIUS server)
is used for the latter authentication method, which is rarely used for private
applications. Your administrator can give you the information you require to confi gure this authentication
method.
The pre-shared key method is more common and offers a high degree of security.
To use WPA encryption, select
WPA-PSK
under
Authentication type and
TKIP
or
AES
under Encryption.
Now enter the code used in the
WPA preshared key
fi eld.
The code entered must be absolutely identical with that used in the network. It must be min. 8 and max. 63
random characters for
ASCII.
Letters, numbers and special characters can be used. 64 characters are re-
quired for
HEX
, whereby only characters from 0-9 and a-f can be used. If you do not have this code, it can be
found in your router/access point or you can ask the person responsible for these devices.
Save the settings and click
OK.
