Wireless Security Settings

4.4.
It is not necessary to configure wireless security to enable wireless communication.
However, due to growing importance of data security, it is recommended that you
choose one of the security protocols described below that fits your needs.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) are wireless
encryption protocols that can be used to encrypt the data traffic between the wireless
computer and the AP-400.
MAC Address Filtering allows you to control which network cards can connect to the
AirTies AP-400. For your wireless network security, it is recommended that both MAC
address filtering and one of WPA, WPA2 or WEP wireless encryption protocols be activated.

WPA Security Settings

4.4.1
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is one of the most advanced wireless encryption standards
today and provides you with the highest level of data protection. All AirTies wireless
products and the newly introduced 802.11g wireless communication devices support
WPA. If you would like to use WPA in your wireless network, all the wireless adapters in
your network should support WPA.
To enable WPA encryption:
1. Go to "Wireless Security" under the "WIRELESS" menu of the Web interface of your router.
2. Click on the "WPA" button in the "Select Wireless Security Level" section of the "Wireless
Security" screen.
3. Click on the "PSK key" button and enter a network key that is 8 to 63 characters long
(use a combination of letters and digits) in the "Passphrase" field. Make sure you choose
a key that is not easy to guess. Click "Save".
4.You must activate WPA and set the same network key in all the devices that will
communicate with your AirTies AP-400.
