802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this
Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS
server. This mode only authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encryption the data
during communication. It is suggested to enable 802.1x and WEP at the same time.
You can select the 64 or 128-bit key to encrypt transmitted data. Larger
WEP key length will provide higher level of security, but the throughput
will be lower.
You may select to select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or
Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP
Key.
Select one of the four keys to encrypt your data.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless
network. Fill the text box by following the rules below.
64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9"
range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys.
128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9"
range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
