ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP210

Data Encryption

The available options depend on the network authentication setting selected (see Table 2);

otherwise, the default is None. The Data Encryption settings are explained in the follokwing

table:

Table 3. Data Encryption settings

Data Encryption Type Description

None No encryption is used.

64 bits WEP Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption.

128 bits WEP Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption.

152 bits WEP Proprietary mode that works only with other wireless devices that support

this mode.

TKIP This is the standard encryption method used with WPA and WPA2.

AES This is the standard encryption method for WPA2.

TKIP + AES This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For

unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2

clients use AES.

Passphrases and keys are used in the following ways:

• 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 have to

match keys used by the other wireless stations.

• Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If you are using WEP, select the key to be used as the

default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other

keys are used only to decrypt received data.

• WPA Preshared Key Passphrase. If you are using WPA-PSK, enter the passphrase

here. All wireless stations have to use the same passphrase (network key). The network

key has to be from 8 to 64 characters in length.

Wireless Client Security Separation

If this feature is enabled, the associated wireless clients will not be able to communicate with

each other. (This feature is intended for hotspots and other public access situations.) The

default is No.

VLAN ID

If the hubs or switches on your LAN support the VLAN (802.1Q) standard and this feature

has been enabled, the default VLAN ID for WNAP210 is associated with each profile. The

default profile VLAN ID has to match the IDs used by other network devices.
