Authentication
Select an Authentication method for all devices on your wireless network. If
you are using gaming devices that require WEP, then you must configure all
devices with this method.
When you select an Authentication setting, additional fields appear.
For WEP Authentication:
You can accept the default, WEP-Auto or select one of the available options.
Select WEP-Open to use Open System authentication. Select WEP-Shared to
use Shared Key authentication.
For WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Authentication:
You can select WPA-PSK/WPA2 PSK if your devices support both
authentication methods. Optionally, select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK if all
devices on your network support only one of these authentication methods.
•
Encryption
Select an Encryption method that corresponds to the Authentication method
that you chose.
If you chose a WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Authentication method:
•
Accept TKIP/AES encryption (the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK default), which
supports dynamic encryption keys using TKIP or AES algorithms, or
choose one of the other options.
•
Select AES if you chose WPA2-PSK for the authentication method.
•
Select TKIP if you chose WPA-PSK for the authentication method.
•
In the Preshare Key field, enter a 26-character key.
If you chose a WEP Authentication method:
•
Select WEP-Auto encryption if you chose both WEP-Open and WEP-Shared
authentication.
•
Select WEP-Open to use Open System authentication.
•
Select WEP-Shared to use Shared Key authentication. With Shared Key,
both sender and receiver use a WEP key for authentication.
•
Key Format
Select Hex if all the wireless devices in the network are Zoom products.
Otherwise, select ASCII. Although Zoom products support both Hex and
ASCII, we recommend using Hex.
