Security – Set the Authentication Type to "Open System" to allow open access without
authentication, or "Shared Key" to require authentication based on a shared key. Enable Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to encrypt data transmissions.
Authentication Type – Use "Open System" to allow open access to all wireless clients without performing
authentication, or "Shared Key" to perform authentication based on a shared key that has been distributed to
all stations. (Default: Open System)
WEP – Wired Equivalent Privacy is used to encrypt transmissions passing between wireless clients and the
access point. (Default: Disabled)
Shared Key Setup – If you select "Shared Key" authentication type or enable WEP, then you also need to
configure the shared key by selecting 64-bit or 128-bit key type, and entering a hexadecimal or ASCII string of
the appropriate length. The key can be entered as alphanumeric characters or hexadecimal (0~9, A~F, e.g.,
D7 0A 9C 7F E5). (Default: 128 bit, hexadecimal key type)
64-Bit Manual Entry: The key can contain 10 hexadecimal digits, or 5 alphanumeric characters.
128-Bit Manual Entry: The key can contain 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 alphanumeric characters.
All wireless devices must be configured with the same Key ID values to communicate with the access point.
