LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security
Encryption Type Use this field to select an encryption mode to protect the information that is sent in the
wireless network.
None - allows wireless clients to communicate with the AP without any data encryption.
WEP (for 2.4G only)
Default Key Index Select one key (Key 1-4) as the default.
WEP Key 1~4 WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the WAP6806 and the wireless stations must
use the same WEP key for data transmission. You must configure at least one key, and
only one key is activated at one time.
ASCII - Select this option to enter ASCII characters as a WEP key.
Hex - Select this option to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.
WPA-Personal / WPA2-Personal / WPA/PAS2-Personal (WPA-Personal is for 2.4G only)
Encryption Select TKIP, AES, or TKIP/AES to enable data encryption.
TKIP - Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) uses 128-bit keys that are dynamically
generated and distributed by the authentication server.
AES - Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a block cipher that uses a 256-bit
mathematical algorithm called Rijndael.
TKIP/AES- Supports both TKIP and AES encryption type at the same time.
Key WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, and WPA/WPA2-Personal Mixed uses a simple common
password for authentication. Type a password from 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 64
hexadecimal characters.
