WEP Key Configure the WEP key.
Open-System—No authentication. With this authentication mode enabled, all the
clients will pass the authentication.
Shared-Key—The two parties must have the same shared key configured for this
authentication mode. You can select this option only when WEP encryption mode is
used.
Open-System and Shared-Key—You can select both open-system and shared-key
authentication.
CCMP—Encryption mechanism based on the AES encryption algorithm.
TKIP—Encryption mechanism based on the RC4 algorithm and dynamic key
management.
CCMP and TKIP—You can select both CCMP and TKIP encryption.
WPA—Wi-Fi Protected Access, a security mechanism before the 802.1 1i protocol.
WPA2—Security mechanism defined in 802.1 1i, also known as the Robust Security
Network (RSN) security mechanism, which is more secure than WEP and WPA.
WPA and WPA2—You can select both WPA and WPA2.
wep40—WEP40 key option.
wep104—WEP104 key option.
wep128—WEP128 key option.
1—Key index 1.
2—Key index 2.
3—Key index 3.
4—Key index 4.
For wep40, the key is a string of 5 alphanumeric characters or a 10-digit hexadecimal
number.
For wep104, the key is a string of 13 alphanumeric characters or a 26-digit
hexadecimal number.
For wep128, the key is a string of 16 alphanumeric characters or a 32-digit
hexadecimal number.
