MK2250 RF Network Configuration B - 13 Table B-6 Encryption Tab Fields Authentication Description Open System (no encryption) Select this option when no data packet encryption is needed over the network. This option provides no security for data transmitted over the network. The window displays only the OK and Cancel buttons. WEP Select this option to use WEP keys for encryption. The window displays several radio buttons and edit buttons to configure the WEP keys. Specify the keylength by selecting the 40-bit or the 128-bit radio button (128-bit is the default). Enter WEP keys in the edit boxes. The number of edit boxes is determined by the selected key length (10 Hex digit value for 40 bit keys, 26 Hex digit values for 128-bit keys). Use the Key radio buttons to configure the four WEP keys. The adapter uses the selected key. Select the ResetKeys button to set the encryption key to the default values. TKIP (WPA) The default Hex digit keys are visible any time they are used. As a security precaution the WEP keys appear in asterisks ("*") within the Encryption key fields. If the associated access point uses an optional Passkey, the "active" adapter WLAN profile must use a Passkey as well. The Passkey is a plain text representation of the WEP keys displayed in the Encryption property window. Use the Passkey to enter WEP key data without having to remember the entire 40-bit (10 character) or 128-bit (26 character) Hex digit string. Tap Passkey. On the Passkey screen, enter an easy-to-remember character string in the range 4 to 32 to use as the WEP algorithm, then select OK. The access point transforms the Passkey string into a set of four WEP keys using MD5 algorithms and displays them in the WEP fields. The selected adapter profile uses these new WEP keys, and behaves as if the keys were entered manually. Select this option for the client adapter to use Wireless Protected Access (WPA) through TKIP. Enter the pre-shared keys in the edit boxes. Tap ClearKey to clear all keys and enter new key values. Tap Passkey to display the Passkey screen. Enter an easy-to-remember 8 to 63 character string.

Table B-6
Encryption Tab Fields
Authentication
Description
Open System
(no encryption)
Select this option when no data packet encryption is needed over the network. This option
provides no security for data transmitted over the network. The window displays only the
OK
and
Cancel
buttons.
WEP
Select this option to use WEP keys for encryption. The window displays several radio
buttons and edit buttons to configure the WEP keys.
Specify the keylength by selecting the 40-bit or the 128-bit radio button (128-bit is the
default). Enter WEP keys in the edit boxes. The number of edit boxes is determined by the
selected key length (10 Hex digit value for 40 bit keys, 26 Hex digit values for 128-bit keys).
Use the
Key
radio buttons to configure the four WEP keys. The adapter uses the selected
key. Select the
ResetKeys
button to set the encryption key to the default values.
The default Hex digit keys are visible any time they are used. As a security precaution the
WEP keys appear in asterisks ("*") within the Encryption key fields.
If the associated access point uses an optional Passkey, the "active" adapter WLAN profile
must use a Passkey as well. The Passkey is a plain text representation of the WEP keys
displayed in the Encryption property window. Use the Passkey to enter WEP key data
without having to remember the entire 40-bit (10 character) or 128-bit (26 character) Hex
digit string.
Tap
Passkey
. On the
Passkey
screen, enter an easy-to-remember character string in the
range 4 to 32 to use as the WEP algorithm, then select
OK
. The access point transforms
the Passkey string into a set of four WEP keys using MD5 algorithms and displays them in
the WEP fields. The selected adapter profile uses these new WEP keys, and behaves as if
the keys were entered manually.
TKIP (WPA)
Select this option for the client adapter to use Wireless Protected Access (WPA) through
TKIP. Enter the pre-shared keys in the edit boxes. Tap
ClearKey
to clear all keys and enter
new key values. Tap
Passkey
to display the
Passkey
screen. Enter an easy-to-remember 8
to 63 character string.
