Setting up the Access Point
Most access points and clients have the ability to hold up to the 4 WEP keys
simultaneously. You need to specify one of the 4 keys as default Key for data
encryption. To set up the Access Point, you will need to set one of the following
parameters:
64-bit WEP key (secret key) with 5 characters.
o
64-bit WEP key (secret key) with 10 hexadecimal digits.
o
128-bit WEP key (secret key) with 13 characters.
o

IEEE 802.1x Introduction
The IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication is desired to prevent the
unauthorized devices (clients) from gaining access to the network. As the LANs
extend to hotels, airports and corporate lobbies, the insecure environments could be
created. The 802.1x port-based network access control makes use of the physical
access characteristics of IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures, such as the 802.3 Ethernet,
802.11 Wireless LAN and VDSL LRE (Long Reach Ethernet), in order to provide a
means of authenticating and authorizing devices attached to a LAN port that has
