Shared Key
Authentication
802.1x Authentication
4011350 Rev D
Description
Allows you to enable data encryption to help secure the data
that is sent over your wireless network.

WEP 128-bit (factory default)
– 128-bit or-64 bit static key data encryption can be
selected when the network is configured to have no
authentication.
– 128-bit static key data encryption is automatically
selected when 802.1x network authentication is
enabled.
Note: Static key authentication uses one of the four
encryption keys, as defined below, to encrypt your data.
You must manually change keys. The keys do not change
or rotate automatically as they do with TKIP.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) data encryption
is automatically enabled when WPA and WPA-PSK
network authentication is enabled. (factory default)
Notes:

64-bit and 40-bit encryption are two different names for
the same encryption

128-bit and 104-bit encryption are two different names
for the same encryption
Allows you to determine if Shared Key Authentication is
used in the network. Shared Key Authentication can be used
when there is no other network authentication in the
network.

Optional – (factory default)
Wireless clients can associate with the wireless access
point without authentication.

Required – Only wireless clients with a valid network
key are allowed to associate with the access point.
Allows you to use 802.1x authentication with WEP
encryption (similar to when WPA or WPA2 is enabled)
