Open Sharedkey WPA-PSK/ WPA2PSK The default setting of Authentication mode, which communicates the key across the network. Allow communication only with other devices with identical WEP settings. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is specially designed for the users who do not have access to network authentication servers. The user has to manually enter the starting password in their access point or gateway, as well as in each PC on the wireless network. If you select Open or Shared-key as the Authentication mode, you need to complete the following settings: Encryption: Select the WEP option to enable the data encryption feature to secure the camera within the wireless network. Format: Once you enable the Encryption feature, you need to determine the encryption format by selecting ASCII or HEX. ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value. Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted as an eightbit value in hexadecimal (base 16) notation. Key Length: Select the WEP key length you use: 64 bits or 128 bits. WEP Key 1/2/3/4: Enter the WEP key(s) in the following boxes. If you select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK as the Authentication mode, you need to complete the following settings: Encryption: Select TKIP or AES. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets to insure much greater security than the standard WEP security. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is used to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information. Pre-Shared Key: This is used to identify each other in the network. Enter the name in the box, and this name must match the Pre-shared key value in the remote device. - 41 -
