Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless trans-
missions to and from your wireless network can be easily intercept-
ed and interpreted by unauthorized users.
The security modes are described below:
• Open: You can authenticate successfully with a SSID, whether it
is valid or empty.
• Shared: The WLAN clients who have the same WEP key with
wireless gateway can pass the authentication and access the
wireless network.
• WEPAUTO: Select WEP security automatically.
• WPA-PSK: WPA Pre-Shared Key, Enter the Pre-Shared key as a
plain text (ASCII) pass-phrase of at least 8 characters.
• WPA2-PSK: It is the securer version of WPA with implementation
of the 802.11i standard.
• WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: Apply both the WPA-PSK and WPA2-
PSK scheme.
If the Authentication type is Open, Shared, WEPAUTO, the bottom
part of the conguration page displays parameters as shown.
• WEP Keys: At most four keys can be set in the blank. Choose
the primary key index. The primary key is the only key in use at
a given time. Whatever keys you enter for an access point, you
must also enter the same keys for the client adapter in the same
order. In other words, WEP key 1 on the AP must match WEP
key 1 on the client adapter, WEP key 2 on the AP must match
WEP key 2 on the client adapter, etc. Select Hex if use 10 or 26
hexadecimal numbers (0~9, a~f or A~F). Select ASCII if use 5 or
13 ASCII characters (case-sensitive).
