Enter MAC Address in the "Add New Station Manually" field. Click trust and then the address
will appear in the "trusted Wireless Stations" field.
Click Apply to save the configuration.
Use WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared
Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined
eavesdropper.
Use WPA or WPA-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very
strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it
virtually impossible to compromise.
The following elaborate WEP/WPA security options.
Field Description
Network You have two authentication options.
Authentication • Open System:
No authentication is imposed to the KWO5000. However, if the 802.1x
option is configured, authentication of connections can be performed by a
RADIUS server.
• Shared: this is for shared key authentication. Data is encrypted.
Encryption Strength You can select the following data encryption options: Disabled
64- 128- or 152-bit WEP With Open System Authentication and 64- 128-
or 152-bit WEP Data Encryption with Shared Key authentication
Security Encryption WEP enabled, you can manually enter the four data encryption keys or
(WEP) Keys enable Passphrase to generate the keys automatically. These values must
be matched between all Clients and access points at your LAN (key 1
must be the same for all, key 2 must be the same for all, etc.)
Two ways to create WEP encryption keys:
• Passphrase.
Passphrase functions as automatically case-sensitive characters. However
not all wireless adapters support passphrase key generation.
• Manual. These values are not case sensitive. 64-bit WEP: enter 10
hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). 128-bit WEP:
enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). 152-bit
WEP: enter 32 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi WPA Pre-Shared-Key uses a pre-shared key to perform the authentication
Protected Access and generate the initial data encryption keys. Then, it dynamically varies
Pre-Shared Key) the encryption key. It uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for
