Chapter 5 Device Network Settings The following table describes the fields in these settings. Table 33 Wireless Card: Static WEP LABEL DESCRIPTION Security Select Static WEP from the drop-down list. WEP Encryption WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network. Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption. Key 1 to Key 4 If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 characters (ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key. If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters (ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key. There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the same on the access points as they are on the wireless stations. Table 34 Wireless Card: WPA-PSK LABEL DESCRIPTION Security Select WPA-PSK from the drop-down list. Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials. ReAuthenticati on Timer (Seconds) Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols). Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and passwords in order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 65535 seconds. If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. Vantage CNM User's Guide 117
