Meaning
If Allow is checked, then the AirStation will respond to SSID searches from wireless
devices by broadcasting its SSID. If Allow is unchecked, then the AirStation ignores SSID
searches from wireless devices.
The multi-security SSID 1 can use no authentication, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA/WPA2-
mixed mode - PSK for wireless security.
The multi-security SSID 2 can use no authentication, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA/WPA2-
mixed mode - PSK for wireless security.
The multi-security SSID 3 can use the WEP for wireless security.
When enabled, wireless devices connected to the AirStation can communicate only with
the Internet side, not with each other.
Set SSID using 1 - 32 alphanumeric characters.
Specifies the authentication method used when connecting to a wireless device.
You may use any of the following types of encryption:
No encryption
Data is transmitted without encryption. With this setting, anyone within range can
connect to your wireless network and might be able to access data on the network. Not
recommended for anyone with private data that needs to be kept secure. No encryption
can be selected only when No authentication is selected for wireless authentication.
WEP
WEP is a common encryption method supported by most devices. WEP can only be
selected when wireless authentication is set to No authentication. Note that WEP's
encryption is weak, and networks protected with WEP are not much more secure than
those with no encryption at all. Not recommended for anyone with private data that
needs to be kept secure.
AES
AES is more secure than TKIP, and faster. Use a pre-shared key to communicate with a
wireless device. AES can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for
wireless authentication.
A pre-shared key or passphrase is the password for your wireless connections. There are
two different formats for a pre-shared key. Use 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters (case-
sensitive) for an ASCII passphrase, or use 64 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f,
not case-sensitive) for a hexadecimal passphrase.
A WEP encryption key (passphrase) may have any of four different formats. An
ASCII passphrase may use either 5 or 13 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive). A
hexadecimal passphrase may use either 10 or 26 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a
to f, not case-sensitive).
Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440 (minutes).
