• Encryption: For WPA Personal and WPA Enterprise, choose either TKIP or AES encryption. The encryption method is chosen automatically for the other WPA modes. • Shared Secret: Enter 8-32 characters. The Shared Secret is also known as a Pre-Shared Key. - For WPA Personal, this key also must be configured in the wireless clients who want to connect to the network. - For WPA Enterprise and RADIUS, this key is shared between the router and the RADIUS server. • Key Renewal: For all security modes except WEP, enter the interval in seconds. The Key Renewal instructs the router how often it should change the encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds, which is 1 hour. For WEP mode and RADIUS (WEP) mode: • Authentication Type: Choose one of the following options: - Open System: A wireless client doesn't need to provide a shared key in order to access the wireless network. Any client can associate to the router. - Share Key: A wireless client must provide the correct shared key in order to to access the wireless network. • Default Transmit Key: To indicate which WEP key to use, select the appropriate Default Transmit Key number. • Encryption: Choose the level of WEP encryption, 64 bits (10 hex digits) or 128 bits (26 hex digits). Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the encryption, they may decrease network performance. Cisco Small Business WRV210 Quick Start Guide 11

Encryption
: For WPA Personal and WPA Enterprise, choose
either TKIP or AES encryption. The encryption method is
chosen automatically for the other WPA modes.
Shared Secret
: Enter 8-32 characters. The Shared Secret is
also known as a Pre-Shared Key.
-
For WPA Personal, this key also must be configured in the
wireless clients who want to connect to the network.
-
For WPA Enterprise and RADIUS, this key is shared
between the router and the RADIUS server.
Key Renewal
: For all security modes except WEP, enter the
interval in seconds. The Key Renewal instructs the router how
often it should change the encryption keys. The default is 3600
seconds, which is 1 hour.
For WEP mode and RADIUS (WEP) mode:
Authentication Type:
Choose one of the following options:
-
Open System:
A wireless client doesn't need to provide a
shared key in order to access the wireless network. Any
client can associate to the router.
-
Share Key:
A wireless client must provide the correct
shared key in order to to access the wireless network.
Default Transmit Key:
To indicate which WEP key to use,
select the appropriate Default Transmit Key number.
Encryption:
Choose the level of WEP encryption, 64 bits (10
hex digits) or 128 bits (26 hex digits). Higher encryption levels
offer higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the
encryption, they may decrease network performance.
