Table 4-6. Advanced setting options.
There are two authentication types: open system and
shared key. When you select open system, wireless
stations can associate with this access point without WEP
encryption. When you select shared key, you should also
set up WEP key in the encryption page, and wireless
stations should use WEP encryption in the authentication
phase to associate with this access point. If you select
both, the wireless client can associate with this access
point by using either one of these two authentication
types.
