Key Format: Select a key type from the drop-down list. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than
64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters
0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters)
format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember.
Default Tx Key: You may choose one of your 4 different WEP keys from below.
Encryption Key 1-4: You may enter four different WEP keys.
Security: WPA pre-shared key
WPA Type: Select TKIP, AES, or WPA2 Mixed. The encryption algorithm used to secure the data
communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is
based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. Note
that, if the bridge uses the AES option, the bridge can associate with the access point only if the
access point is also set to use only AES.
Pre-shared Key Type: The Key Type can be passphrase or Hex format.
Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in ASCII
(American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless
connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of
ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session
keys that are unique for each wireless client.
