Encryption: WEP ESSID Selection: As this device supports multiple SSIDs, it is possible to configure a different security mode for each SSID (profile). Select an SSID from the drop-down list. Broadcast SSID: Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down list. This is the SSID broadcast feature. When this option is set to Enable, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to your network. When this is disabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network. WMM: Choose to Enable or Disable WMM. This is the Quality of Service (QoS) feature for prioritizing voice and video applications. This option can be further configured in WMM under the Wireless drop-down menu. Encryption: Select WEP from the drop-down list. Authentication Type: Select Open System, Shared Key, or auto. Authentication method from the drop-down list. An open system allows any client to authenticate as long as it conforms to any MAC address filter policies that may have been set. All authentication packets are transmitted without encryption. Shared Key sends an unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting to communicate with the AP. The device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and sends it back to the access point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the access point allows the requesting device to authenticate. It is recommended to select Auto if you are not sure which authentication type is used. Key Length: Select a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key length from the drop-down list. Key Type: Select a key type from the drop-down list. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. Default Key: You may choose one of your 4 different WEP keys from below. Encryption Key 1-4: You may enter four different WEP keys. Enable 802.1x Authentication: Place a check in this box if you would like to use RADIUS authentication. This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to
