WEP
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted wirelessly, the
Wireless Security Settings window offers WEP features, making your data transmission
over air more secure and allows you to specify Encryption Key(s) if you enable encryption
for the Access Point.
Network Authentication: You may select authentication type from the drop-down list. Open System and
Shared Key is for WEP. Legacy 802.1x is for WEP with RADIUS Server. WPA (2) with RADIUS is for WPA (2)
Enterprise protocol. WPA (2) – PSK is for WPA (2) Personal protocol.
Data Encryption You may press Set WEP Key button to set WEP key length, Key Format, Key Index and Key
value. You may enter key value manually:
• 64 bits WEP Enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits (between 0-9, a-f and A-F).
• 128 bits WEP Enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits (between 0-9, a-f and A-F).
• 152 bits WEP Enter 16 ASCII characters or 32 hexadecimal digits (between 0-9, a-f and A-F).
Note: The WEP key must be set up exactly the same on the Wireless Access Points as they are on the
wireless clients. If you set “0011223344” for the Wireless Access Point, the same WEP key “0011223344”
must be assigned to other client stations.
802.1x Authentication A standard for network access control (port based), which was introduced especially
for distributing encryption keys in a wireless network. The Access Point supports IEEE 802.1x for keeping
out unauthorized users and for verifying the credentials of users with RADIUS so that authorized users can
access the network and services. To use IEEE 802.1x, you will need at least one common Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) method on your authentication server, APs (authenticator) and stations
