Parameter Description
Authentication Type
It specifies the authentication type for the WEP security mode. The options include
Open and Shared. The options share the same encryption process.
Open: It specifies that authentication is not required and data exchanged is
encrypted with WEP. In this case, a wireless client can connect to the wireless
network corresponding to the selected SSID without being authenticated, and the
data exchanged between the client 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 with WEP. In this case, a wireless client must use a preset
WEP key to connect to the wireless network corresponding to the selected SSID.
The wireless client can be connected to the wireless network only if they use the
same WEP key.
Default Key
It specifies the WEP key for the current SSID.
For example, if Default Key is set to Key 2, a wireless client can connect to the wireless
network corresponding to the selected SSID only with the password specified by Key 2.
Key 1/2/3/4
4 WEP keys are allowed at the same time, but only the one specified by the Default
Key is valid. The key type includes ASCII and Hex.
ASCII: 5 or 13 ASCII characters are allowed in the key.
Hex: 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters are allowed in the key (0-9, a-f, A-F).
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK
They belong to pre-shared key or personal key modes, where WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK supports both
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
