Description
This unit supports both Personal and Enterprise security modes, as well as Legacy WEP
encryption modes for interoperability with Legacy devices.
The following security mode settings are supported

None (not recommended)

Personal – Security mode using a pre-shared key for networks that don't require
an authentication server.

Enterprise – Security mode requiring the use of an eternal RADIUS authentication
server

WEP – Legacy security setting using either a 64 or 128-bit key and WEP encryption.
Personal and Enterprise security modes may be used with the following:

WPA – Original protocol introduced to replace WEP.

WPA2 – Latest 802.11 security protocol conforming to the 802.11i standard.

WPA/WPA2 – Allows client devices to connect using WPA if they do not support
WPA2.
AES is the preferred encryption mechanism as it is the most secure protocol supported
by the 802.11 standard. However, some legacy devices do not support AES and
therefore, you can choose combinations of legacy methods depending on the 802.11
mode setting.
Available encryption types are:

None – (Not recommended)

AES – Recommended setting. Can be used with all Personal and Enterprise modes.

TKIP – Only TKIP encryption. This setting is only available when in 802.11a/g mode.
The 802.11n standard does not allow TKIP as the only encryption mechanism.

AES and TKIP – Allows client devices that don't support AES to connect. This setting
is available in all 802.11 modes.

TKIP and WEP128 – Allows client devices that don't support TKIP to connect. This
setting is only available when in all 802.11a/g mode. Note that combinations
including WEP and AES are not allowed.

WEP128 – Legacy security setting using a 128-bit key and WEP encryption. This
setting is only available when the WEP security mode is selected.

WEP64 – Legacy security setting using a 64-bit key and WEP encryption. This
setting is only available when the WEP security mode is selected.
