Wireless Security Settings 3-3

v1.0, August 2007

• Data Encryption. The available options depend on the Network Authentication setting

selected (see Table 3-1 above); otherwise, the default is None. The Data Encryption settings

are explained in the table below:

• WEP Authentication Type. WEP can be authenticated using Open System or Automatic. If

set to Open System, clients can only associate to the wireless access point by using the Open

System option. If set to Automatic, clients can associate to the wireless access point using both

Open System and Shared Key. Setting the Authentication Type to Automatic will detect which

WEP authentication method is being used. The default is Automatic.

• Use of Passphrases and Keys are explained below:

– Passphrase. To use the Passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and click

the Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must match the

other wireless stations.

– Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default key.

Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be

used to decrypt received data.

– WPA Preshared Key Passphrase. If using WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK +

WPA2-PSK, enter the passphrase here. All wireless stations must use the same passphrase

(network key). The network key must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
