This parameter specifies the maximum number of clients that can connect to the
wireless network corresponding to an SSID. If the number is reached, the wireless
network rejects new connection requests from clients. This limit helps balance load
among devices.
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 using 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 using 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.
It specifies the WEP key for the Open or Shared encryption type.
For example, if Default Key is set to Security Key 2, a wireless client can connect to the
wireless network corresponding to the selected SSID only with the password specified
by Security Key 2.
