Security Security System Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected method: • Disabled - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can connect to your network. • WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmission, but the encryption system is not very strong. • WPA/WPA2 Personal - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA Personal is the version of WPA which does NOT require a Radius Server on your LAN. WEP Authentication Type Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If that fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or "Shared Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to see what method to use. Note: In Infrastructure mode, either setting will normally work, since most Access Points can use both methods. WEP Encryption Select the WEP Encryption level: • 64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars) • 128 Bit Keys (26 Hex chars) • 64 Bit Keys (5 ASCII chars) • 128 Bit Keys (13 ASCII chars) Passphrase WEP Keys Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the "Generate Key" button to automatically configure the WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is set to 64-bit, then each of the four key fields will be populated with key values. If encryption strength is set to 128-bit, then only the selected WEP key field will be given a key value. • Use the radio buttons to select the default key. • Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the same key values. • Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits (0 ~ 9) and the letters A ~ F. • Click Clear Keys to set the Keys to be blank. WPA/WPA2 Personal Shared Key Enter the key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived from the network key. Other Wireless Stations must use the same network key. The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. 35

selected method:
•
Disabled
- No security is used. Anyone using the correct
SSID can connect to your network.
•
WEP
- The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before
transmission, but the encryption system is not very
strong.
•
WPA/WPA2 Personal
- Like WEP, data is encrypted
before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and
should be used if possible. WPA Personal is the version
of WPA which does NOT require a Radius Server on
your LAN.
WEP
Authentication
Type
Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If
that fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or
"Shared Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to
see what method to use.
Note:
In
Infrastructure
mode, either setting will normally
work, since most Access Points can use both methods.
WEP Encryption
Select the WEP Encryption level:
•
64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars)
•
128 Bit Keys
(26 Hex chars)
•
64 Bit Keys (5 ASCII chars)
•
128 Bit Keys
(13 ASCII chars)
Passphrase
Enter a word or group of printable characters in the
Passphrase box and click the "Generate Key" button to
automatically configure the WEP Key(s). If encryption
strength is set to 64-bit, then each of the four key fields will
be populated with key values. If encryption strength is set to
128-bit, then only the selected WEP key field will be given a
key value.
WEP Keys
•
Use the radio buttons to select the default key.
•
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must
have the same key values.
•
Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the
