Shared key: At this point, the client must provide the correct key to pass the authentication, otherwise it cannot be associated with the wireless devices, and cannot perform data transmission. Key format: Two formats, hexadecimal code and ASCII code are provided: When the hexadecimal code is used, the key characters can be 0 ~ 9, A, B, C, D, E, F. When the ASCII code is used, the key characters can be all ASCII codes. Key selection: The user can enter 1 ~ 4 keys according to needs, and these 4 keys can use different key types. WEP key: Sets the key value, and the length of the key is affected by key types: When choosing a 64 - bit key, you can input 9 hexadecimal characters or 5 ASCII characters. When choosing a 128 - bit key, you can input 26 hexadecimal characters or 9 ASCII characters. Key types: Selects key types, and provides three options, Disable, 64 bits, 128 bits. Among them, Disable means not to use the current key, but 64 bits, 128 bits, and used to specify the length of the WEP key. 9.1.3.2 WPA/WPA2 Figure 9- 5 WPA/WPA2 Security mechanism: Choose "WPA/WPA2" here, which means that the device will use WPA or WPA2 security mechanism. Under the security mechanism, the device will use the Radius server for authentication and obtaining the key. WPA version: Sets up the safe mode this device will use: Auto: Means that the device can automatically choose WPA or WPA2 safe mode according to the requests of wireless client. WPA: Means that this device will use the safe mode of WPA. WPA2: Means that the device will use the safe mode of WPA2. Encryption algorithm: It is used to encrypt wireless data, with the options like Auto, TKIP and AES. 36
