DESCRIPTION
Select an authentication method if you have created any in the
Configuration > Object > Auth. Method screen.
Enter the interval (in seconds) between authentication requests. Enter
a 0 for unlimited requests.
Enter the idle interval (in seconds) that a client can be idle before
authentication is discontinued.
Select a WEP authentication method. Choices are Open or Share key.
Select the bit-length of the encryption key to be used in WEP
connections.
If you select WEP-64:
• Enter 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9"
(for example, 0x11AA22BB33) for each Key used.
or
• Enter 5 ASCII characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-z", "A-Z"
and "0-9" (for example, MyKey) for each Key used.
If you select WEP-128:
• Enter 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9"
(for example, 0x00112233445566778899AABBCC) for each Key
used.
or
• Enter 13 ASCII characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-z", "A-
Z" and "0-9" (for example, MyKey12345678) for each Key used.
Based on your Key Length selection, enter the appropriate length
hexadecimal or ASCII key.
Select this option to use a Pre-Shared Key with WPA encryption.
Enter a pre-shared key of between 8 and 63 case-sensitive ASCII
characters (including spaces and symbols) or 64 hexadecimal
characters.
Select an encryption cipher type from the list.
• auto - This automatically chooses the best available cipher based
on the cipher in use by the wireless client that is attempting to
make a connection.
• tkip - This is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol encryption
method added later to the WEP encryption protocol to further
secure. Not all wireless clients may support this.
• aes - This is the Advanced Encryption Standard encryption
method. It is a more recent development over TKIP and
considerably more robust. Not all wireless clients may support this.
Enter the interval (in seconds) at which the AP updates the group WPA
encryption key.
Enable or Disable pre-authentication to allow the AP to send
authentication information to other APs on the network, allowing
connected wireless clients to switch APs without having to re-
authenticate their network connection.
