Wpa Pre-Shared Key - TRENDnet TEW-653AP User Manual

Authentication Type: Select Open System, Shared Key, or auto. Authentication method from the
drop-down list. An open system allows any client to authenticate as long as it conforms to any MAC
address filter policies that may have been set. All authentication packets are transmitted without
encryption. Shared Key sends an unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting to
communicate with the AP. The device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and
sends it back to the access point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the access point allows
the requesting device to authenticate. It is recommended to select Auto if you are not sure which
authentication type is used.
Key Length: Select a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key length from the drop-down list.
Key Type: Select a key type from the drop-down list. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than
64-bit encryption. 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.
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.
Enable 802.1x Authentication: Place a check in this box if you would like to use RADIUS
authentication. This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless
clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the
Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to
allow this Gateway to authenticate users. You will then be required to specify the RADIUS Server's
IP address, port, and password.

WPA pre-shared key

ESSID Selection: As this device supports multiple SSIDs, it is possible to configure a different
security mode for each SSID (profile). Select an SSID from the drop-down list.
Broadcast SSID: Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down list. This is the SSID broadcast
feature. When this option is set to Enable, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone
within the range of your signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to your
network. When this is disabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client
manually to connect to the network.
