Wpa2 Security Settings; Wep Security Settings; Mac Filtering - AirTies Air5452 User Manual

MAC Address Filtering allows you to control which network cards can
connect to the AirTies device and share your Internet access. For
your wireless network security, it is recommended that both MAC
Address filtering and WPA2 wireless encryption protocols be
activated.

WPA2 Security Settings

WPA2, defined by the IEEE 802.11i standard, is one of the latest
wireless encryption methods. If you would like to use WPA2 in your
wireless network, all the wireless adapters in your network should
support WPA2. For Centrino platform computers, it is necessary to
download the WPA2 updates for the Windows XP operating system
to be able to use WPA2 ( www.microsoft.com ).
To enable WPA2 encryption: 1. Go to Wireless Security Settings
under the WIRELESS menu of the Web interface of your device. 2.
From the Security drop down box of the first SSID select WPA2. 3.
Select WPA/WPA2 from Security Type. 4. Enter a Passphrase 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. 5. You must activate WPA2 and set the same
network key in all the devices that will communicate with your
AirTies device.

WEP Security Settings

WEP is less secure then WPA and should only be used if your PC's
wireless card does not support WPA. To configure WEP secutiry:
1. Go to Wireless Security Settings under the WIRELESS menu of
the Web interface of your device.
2. From the Security drop down box of the first SSID select WEP.
3. Select Open for Authentication Mode.
4. For WEP Security Type you can select: a. 10 Hexadecimal
characters (A-F and 0-9) for 64-bit encryption. b. 5 ASCII
characters for 64-bit encryption. c. 26 Hexadecimal characters
for 128-bit encryption. d. 13 ASCII characters for 123-bit
encryption.
5. You can enter up to 4 network keys and choose the one you
want to use. Click Save.
6. You must activate WEP and set the same network key in all the
devices that will communicate with your AirTies device.
