WEP Encryption Key Setting
The default state in Encryption Setting is WEP
disabled. Check "Enable WEP" to enable the
encryption.
For more WEP key setting, Click "WEP
Encryption Key Setting".
Three authentication modes are available: Open
System, Shared Key and Auto. The Open
System uses a default key to authenticate the
station and Access Point. Once both parties are
authenticated, the station is allowed to send and
receive data from the network. However, the data is not encrypted.
In Shared Key system, the station and Access Point authenticate each other. The data frame is
also encrypted by the WEP key.
In Auto Mode, the Access Point takes control of network security setting and station will follow the
setting required from AP.
