Table 4-1. Basic Wireless Security Options
Field Description
Network
You can select the following network authentication options:
Authentication
• Open: the FWG114P does not perform any authentication.
• Shared: WEP shared key authentication.
• WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) user authentication is implemented using RADIUS
servers. For a full explanation of WPA, see
• WPA-PSK: Rather than using a RADIUS server, WPA Pre-Shared-Key uses a
pre-shared key to perform the authentication.
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required
on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client
software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver
must also support WPA.
Data
Depending on the Network Authentication setting you select, the menu offers the following
Encryption
data encryption options:
• Disable: If Open Network Authentication is enabled, you can disable data encryption.
• WEP: If Shared or Open Network Authentication is enabled, you can manually or
automatically program the four 64- or 128-bit WEP data encryption keys.
Note: With Open Network Authentication and 64- or 128-bit WEP Data Encryption, the
FWG114P does perform 64- or 128-bit data encryption but does not perform any
authentication.
Passphrase, These values must be identical on all PCs and access points in your network (key 1 must
and Encryption be the same for all, key 2 must be the same for all, etc.) There are two methods for
Key, and Key creating WEP encryption keys:

characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button.
Note: Not all wireless adapters support passphrase key generation.
• Manual. These values are not case sensitive.
64-bit WEP: enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
128-bit WEP: enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
