Select Static WEP from the drop-down list.

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.

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.

Select WPA-PSK from the drop-down list.

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.

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.
