Configuring different encryption types
To configure the WLAN data encryption options available on the controller, refer to the following:

Configuring WEP 64
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol specified in the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)
standard. WEP is designed to provide a WLAN with a level of security and privacy comparable to
that of a wired LAN.
WEP 64 is a less robust encryption scheme than WEP 128 (shorter WEP algorithm for a hacker to
duplicate), but WEP 64 may be all that a small-business user needs for the simple encryption of
wireless data. However, networks that require more security are at risk from a WEP flaw. The
existing 802.11 standard alone offers administrators no effective method to update keys.
To configure WEP 64:
1. Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.
2. Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the Configuration tab and click the Edit
3. Select the WEP 64 button from within the Encryption field.
4. Click the Config button to the right of the WEP 64 checkbox.

PAP
PAP - Password Authentication Protocol sends a username and password over a
network to a server that compares the username and password to a table of
authorized users. If the username and password are matched in the table, server
access is authorized.
CHAP
CHAP is an encrypted authentication method based on Microsoft's
challenge/response authentication protocol.
DSCP/TOS Optionally mark packets with a DiffServ CodePoint (DSCP) in its header. The DSCP
value is stored in the first 6 bits of the Type of Service (ToS) field that is part of the
standard IP header. The DCSP values are associated with a forwarding treatment
called Per Hop Behaviors (PHB). Service can be provisioned (if necessary) by
assigning a DCSP point code from 1 - 6.
