Defining WLAN connection settings

LAN must either allow or prevent the use of TKIP
encryption.
If you selected 802.1x as the WLAN security mode, define
the following in WLAN security sett.:
• WPA mode — Select EAP if you want to use an EAP
module for authentication. If you select Pre-shared
key, type the password (also called a master key) in
the field. Note that the same key must be entered in
the wireless LAN access point.
• EAP plug-in settings — If you selected EAP, you must
also define these settings. See page 8 for more
information.
Note: 802.1x authenticates and authorises
devices to access a wireless network, and
prevents access if the authorisation process
fails.
If you selected WEP as the WLAN security mode, define
the following in WLAN security sett.:
• WEP key in use — Select which WEP key is used
(#1–#4).
• Authentication type — Select Open or Shared.
• WEP key settings — The remaining settings are
defined here:
WEP encryption — Select the desired WEP encryption
key length. Supported options are 64, 128, and 256
bits. The more bits there are in the key, the higher
the level of security. WEP keys consist of a secret
key and a 24-bit initialisation vector. For example,
some manufacturers refer to the 104-bit key as a
128-bit key (104+24). Both keys offer the same
level of encryption and are therefore interoperable.
WEP key format — Select whether you want to enter
the WEP key data in Hexadecimal format or in text
format (ASCII). It is important that the same
notation is used both in the access point and the
Nokia E61i.
