Wireless-G Exterior Access Point RADIUS This security mode is also known as Dynamic WEP with IEEE 802.1X. The RADIUS server is used for client authentication and WEP is used for data encryption. The WEP key is automatically generated by the RADIUS server. A manual WEP key is no longer compatible with Microsoft Windows implementation (due to its weak authentication capability). RADIUS Server IP Address. Enter the RADIUS server's IP address. RADIUS Server Port. Enter the port number used by the RADIUS server. The default is 1812. Shared Secret. Enter the Shared Secret key used by the Access Point and RADIUS server. WEP This security mode is defined in the original IEEE 802.11. This mode is not recommended now due to its weak security protection. Users are urged to migrate to WPA or WPA2. Authentication Type. Choose the 802.11 authentication type as either Open System or Shared Key. The default is Open System. Default Transmit Key. Select the key to be used for data encryption. WEP Encryption. Select a level of WEP encryption, 64 bits (10 hex digits) or 128 bits (26 hex digits). Passphrase. If you want to generate WEP keys using a Passphrase, then enter the Passphrase in the field provided and click the Generate key. Key 1-4. If you want to manually enter WEP keys, then complete the fields provided. Each WEP key can consist of the letters "A" through "F" and the numbers "0" through "9". It should be 10 characters in length for 64-bit encryption or 26 characters in length for 128-bit encryption.
