Item Description
Authentication Access control and authorization of users in the WiFi network.
• Open – Authentication is not required (free access point).
• Shared – Basic authentication using WEP key.
• WPA-PSK – Authentication using higher authentication meth-
ods PSK-PSK.
• WPA2-PSK – WPA-PSK using newer AES encryption.
• WPA-Enterprise – RADIUS authentication done by external
server via username and password.
• WPA2-Enterprise – RADIUS authentication with better en-
cryption.
• 802.1X – RADIUS authentication with port-based Network Ac-
cess Control (PNAC) using encapsulation of the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) over LAN – EAPOL.
Encryption Type of data encryption in the WiFi network:
• None – No data encryption.
• WEP – Encryption using static WEP keys. This encryption can
be used for Shared authentication.
• TKIP – Dynamic encryption key management that can be
used for WPA -PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication.
• AES – Improved encryption used for WPA2-PSK authentica-
tion.
WEP Key Type Type of WEP key for WEP encryption:
• ASCII – WEP key in ASCII format.
• HEX – WEP key in hexadecimal format.
WEP Default Key This specifies the default WEP key.
