Aer you have determined which security type to use for your wireless network (refer to
“Choose the Security Type for Wireless Network” on page 18), you can set up wireless
security.
ÍNote: By default, your access point is congured with a predened wireless network
name (SSID) and security key using WPA-Personal. The predened wireless network
name and security can be found on the scker on the side of the access point or on the
device label at the boom of the access point.
1 Log into your access point management page (refer to “Log in to Management Page”
on page 10).
2 In Current Prole secon, click Edit next to the wireless prole to select the wireless
security type.
3 In Wireless Security secon, select the preferred Security Mode:
• Select between WPA-OPEN, WPA-SHARED, or WPA-AUTO. WPA-OPEN system
allows any client to authencate as long as it conforms to any MAC address
lter policies that may have been set. All authencaon packets are transmied
without encrypon. WPA-SHARED Key sends an unencrypted challenge text string
to any device aempng to communicate with the AP. The device requesng
authencaon encrypts the challenge text and sends it back to the access point.
If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the access point allows the requesng
device to authencate. It is recommended to select WPA-AUTO if you are not sure
which authencaon type is used. Click Apply to save the changes.
 Default Key: You may choose one of your four dierent WEP keys from below.
 WEP Key 1 to 4: Enter the WEP key. This is the password or key that is used
to connect your computer to this access point wirelessly. You can enter four
dierent WEP keys.
 HEX / ASCII: Select your key format to be in hexadecimal or ASCII codes. Keys
are dened by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters
0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Informaon Interchange -
alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a
string that is easier to remember.
• If the security type is set to WPA-Personal, review the WPA-Personal sengs to
congure and click Apply to save the changes.
 Security Mode: Select the WPA security type.
 WPA Cipher: Select the encrypon algorithm used to secure the data
communicaon. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key
generaon and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encrypon Standard) is a very
secure block based encrypon. With the “TKIP and AES” opon, the device
negoates the cipher type with the client, and uses AES when available.
