• Use the Algorithm: drop-down list to select an encryption algorithm that matches
the security established in your network. The AP and the terminal's adapter must
use the same encryption.
• The Open System does not encrypt any of the data packets that travel over the
WLAN, meaning the data packets transmitted by terminals or APs are not
encrypted. Select this if no security is needed on the network.
• The 40-bit Shared Key algorithm uses a 40-bit encryption key known by both
the terminal and the AP to encrypt the data over the network.

• The 128-bit Shared Key algorithm uses a 128-bit encryption key known by both
the terminal and the AP to encrypt the data over the network. This option
provides a higher level of security than the 40-bit encryption while maintaining
an 11 Mbps data rate.
