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

selected (see Table 2-1 above); otherwise, the default is None. The Data Encryption

settings are explained in the table below:

• 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.

WPA2-PSK

(WPA2 is a later version of WPA )

Only select this if all clients support WPA2. If selected, you must use

AES or TKIP + AES encryption and enter the WPA passphrase

(Network key).

WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP) or WPA2

(with AES). If selected, you must use TKIP + AES encryption and

enter the WPA passphrase (Network key).
