by a RADIUS server. Check this box to authenticates user by
IEEE 802.1x.
WEP-64Bits
WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports 64-bit
and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless data. The
longer key length will provide higher security. When “WEP-
64Bits” is selected, you have to enter exactly 5 ASCII
characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 10 hexadecimal digits ("0-9",
"a-f") for each Key (1-4).
WEP-128Bits
When “WEP-128Bits” is selected, you have to enter exactly 13
ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 26 hexadecimal digits
("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).
WPA
Authentication
Mode
There are two types of authentication mode for WPA.
Enterprise (RADIUS)
– It uses an external RADIUS server
to perform user authentication. To use RADIUS, enter the IP
address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS port (default is
1812) and the shared secret from the RADIUS server. Please
refer to “Authentication RADIUS Server” setting below for
RADIUS setting.
Personal (Pre-Shared Key)
– Pre-Shared Key
authentication is based on a shared secret that is known only
by the parties involved. To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, select
key format and enter a password in the “Pre-Shared Key
Format” and “Pre-Shared Key” setting respectively.
Pre-Shared Key
Format
You may select to select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or
Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) to be
the Pre-shared Key. For example:
Passphrase: ”iamguest”
Hexadecimal Digits: “12345abcde”
Pre-Shared Key
Please enter 8-63 characters as the “Pre-Shared Key”.
