Authentication:
•
Open – With the Open method, every wireless station can request authentication.

a secret key (which can be obtained from the network administrator) using a secure
channel (independent of the 802.11 wireless communications channel).
•
LEAP – (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an EAP authentication method used
primarily on Cisco Aironet wireless networks. This protocol encrypts transmitted data
using dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports two-way authentication.
•
WPA and WPA2 – IEEE 802.1x protocol is used for authentication and AES or TKIP for
encryption.
•
WPA PSK and WPA2 PSK – Station requesting authentication must provide a WPA
Preshared Key. AES or TKIP are used for encryption.
•

be configured.
WEP Key / Key#1 ... 4 – When you select WEP encryption or Shared authentication
without 802.1x, you need to enter a correct WEP key.
•
If a 64-bit WEP key is used, enter 10 Hexadecimal characters or 5 ASCII
characters.
•
If a 128-bit WEP key is used, enter 26 Hexadecimal characters or 13 ASCII
characters.
Show Password – Select this box if you do not want key characters to be replaced with
asterisks.
