RADIUS
This option features WEP used in coordination with
a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a
RADIUS server is connected to the Router.) It offers three
authentication methods: MD5, TLS, and TTLS.
EAP Type Select the authentication method: MD5, TLS,
or TTLS. The appropriate screen appears depending on
the selection. The screens are described below.
MD5
Security > RADIUS-MD5
Select a Default Key (choose which Key to use), and a
level of WEP encryption, 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits
26 hex digits. Then either generate a WEP key using a
Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually.
Default Transmit Key Select which WEP key (1-4) will
be used when the Bridge sends data. Make sure that the
receiving device (wireless client) is using the same key.
WEP Encryption An acronym for Wired Equivalent
Privacy, WEP is an encryption method used to protect
your wireless data communications. WEP uses 64-bit or
128-bit keys to provide access control to your network
and encryption security for every data transmission. To
decode data transmissions, all devices in a network must
use an identical WEP key. Higher encryption levels offer
higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the
encryption, they may decrease network performance.
Select 64 bits (10 hex digits) or 128 bits (26 hex digits).
Passphrase Instead of manually entering WEP keys,
you can enter a passphrase. This passphrase is used to
generate one or more WEP keys. It is case-sensitive and
Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge
Configuration using the Web-based Utility
should not be longer than 32 alphanumeric characters.
(This Passphrase function is compatible with Linksys
wireless products only and cannot be used with Windows
XP Zero Configuration. If you want to communicate
with non-Linksys wireless products or Windows XP Zero
Configuration, make a note of the WEP key generated in
the Key 1 field, and enter it manually in the wireless client.)
After you enter the Passphrase, click Generate to create
WEP keys.
Keys 1-4 WEP keys enable you to create an encryption
scheme for wireless network transmissions. If you are
not using a Passphrase, then manually enter a set of
values. (Do not leave a key field blank, and do not enter
all zeroes; they are not valid key values.) If you are using
64-bit WEP encryption, the key must be exactly 10
hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit
WEP encryption, the key must be exactly 26 hexadecimal
characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are "0"-
"9" and "A"-"F".
User ID and Password
are required for your security. Enter the ID in the User ID
field, then the password in the Password field.

TLS
TLS is a mutual authentication method that uses digital
certificates.
