Authentication
Method
There are two types of WEP authentication namely, Open System and
Shared Key.
Open system is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not
an issue. The wireless station and the AP or peer computer do not share
a secret key. Thus the wireless stations can associate with any AP or
peer computer and listen to any transmitted data that is not encrypted.
Shared key mode involves a shared secret key to authenticate the
wireless station to the AP or peer computer. This requires you to enable
the wireless LAN security and use same settings on both the wireless
station and the AP or peer computer.
• Select
Shared Key
to have the NWA authenticate only those
wireless clients that use Shared Key mode and have the correct WEP
key.
• Select
Auto
to have the NWA allow association with wireless clients
that use Open System mode. Data transfer is encrypted as long as
the wireless client has the correct WEP key for encryption. The NWA
authenticates wireless clients using Shared Key mode that have the
correct WEP key.
ASCII
Select this option to enter ASCII characters as the WEP keys.
Hex
Select this option to enter hexadecimal characters as the WEP keys.
The preceding “0x” is entered automatically.
Key 1 to
Key 4
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the NWA and the wireless
stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose
64-bit WEP
, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose
128-bit WEP
, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at
any one time. The default key is key 1.
