TEW-714TRU User's Guide Default Key : You may choose one of your 4 different WEP keys from below Encryption Key 1-4 : You may enter four different WEP keys. Select a key type from the drop-down list. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember WPA, WPA2, Mixed WPA and WPA2 WPA2 is currently the most advanced wireless encryption. Choose this option if all of your devices support WPA2. Otherwise choose WPA or WPA & WPA2 mixed System Configuration WPA Algorithm : Select TKIP, AES, or Mixed. This is the encryption algorithm used to secure data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. Note that, if the bridge uses the AES option, the bridge can associate with the access point only if the access point is also set to use only AES. WPA pass phrase : The pass-phrase is up to 63 alphanumeric characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client WPA key renewal Specify how often the wireless key interval : should be renegotiated. Shorter time intervals are more secure, but cause more overhead.(default: 3600 seconds/ 1 hour) © Copyright 2013 TRENDnet. All rights reserved. 28
