9.1.3 Security settings
To make access authentication for such clients as computers, mobile phones that want to join the service area,
password authentication and free of authentication are now provided. Password authentication provides three
wireless security mechanisms, namely WEP, WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. The following sections
will introduce the configuration parameters and their meanings.
