Figure 8: Wireless Security Screen
Select the desired option, and then enter the settings for the selected
method:
•
Disable - No security is used. Anyone using the correct SSID can
connect to your network.
•
WEP - The 802.11b standard. Data is encrypted before transmis-
sion, but the encryption system is not very strong.
•
WPA-PSK - Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission.
WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if possible.
WPA-PSK is the version of WPA which does NOT require a Ra-
dius Server on your LAN.
Normally this can be left at the default value of Automatic. If that
fails, select the appropriate value - Open System or Shared Key.
Check your wireless card's documentation to see what method to use.
Select the WEP Encryption level:
•
64-bit (sometimes called 40-bit) encryption
•
128-bit (sometimes called 104-bit) encryption
•
Use the radio buttons to select the default key.
•
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the
same key values.
•
Keys must be entered in Hex. Hex characters are the digits ( 0 ~
9 ) and the letters A ~ F.
