DHCP.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a
network. With dynamic addressing, a device can automatically request an IP address every time it connects to
the network. This means that a new device can be added to a network without having to manually assign a
unique IP address.
Dynamic key.
A security key that is randomly generated and assigned to a device or user by a server for
security purposes.
Encryption.
the conversion of data into a specific code to protect it from being compromised while being
transmitted over a network.
Hexadecimal.
A numbering system that is used as a representation of binary numbers using a base of 16
digits.
Infrastructure network.
A network in which your wireless devices communicate through a central wireless
access point or base station. An infrastructure network can contain multiple wireless access points.
IP address.
A number that identifies each device connected to the network. For example, 192.168.0.1.

WPA environment.

meet the following criteria:
• For WPA keys, if using Hexadecimal characters, valid keys are at least 64 characters long; if using ASCII,
valid keys are between 8 and 63 characters long. WPA authentication is not supported for Ad-Hoc
configurations.
• For WEP keys, if using Hex characters, valid keys are either 10 or 26 characters long; if using ASCII, valid
keys are either 5 or 13 characters long.
