Parameter Description
Authentication
Type
It specifies the encryption type for the WEP security mode of the AP. The
options include Open, Shared, and 802.1x, and they share the same
encryption process.
−
Open
It specifies that authentication is not required and data exchanged is
encrypted using WEP. In this case, a wireless device can connect to the
wireless network corresponding to the selected SSID without being
authenticated, and the data exchanged between the device and the
network is encrypted in WEP security mode.
−
Shared
It specifies that a shared key is used for authentication and data
exchanged is encrypted using WEP. In this case, a wireless device must
use a preset WEP key to connect to the wireless network
corresponding to the selected SSID. The wireless device can be
connected to the wireless network only if they use the same WEP key.
−
802.1x
It specifies that 802.1x authentication is required and data exchanged
is encrypted using WEP. In this case, ports are enabled for user
authentication when valid devices connect to the wireless network
corresponding to the selected SSID, and disabled when invalid devices
connect to the wireless network.
Default Key
It specifies the default WEP key for the Open and Shared encryption
types.
