Parameter
Encryption Mode
WPA Pre-Shared Key
WEP Key
(Key1 ~ Key4)
Description
None – Disable the WEP Data Encryption.
WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is
selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys.
TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the
temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message
transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security
than the standard WEP security.
AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of
security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most
advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the
wireless network.
Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption
method to ensure the communication.
The WPA-PSK key can be from eight to 64 characters and can be
letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the
wireless stations in the network.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the
wireless network. There are two types of key length: 64-bit and
128-bit. Select the default encryption key from Key 1 to Key 4 by
selected the radio button.
Fill the text box by following the rules below.
64-bit – Input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9"
range) or 5-digit ASCII characters (including "a-z" and "0-9") as
the encryption keys. For example: "0123456aef" or "test1".
128-bit – Input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9"
range) or 13-digit ASCII characters (including "a-z" and "0-9") as
the encryption keys. For example:
"01234567890123456789abcdef" or "administrator".
