WEP encryption

Use the "WEP encryption" page to set the WEP encryption keys. A description of the individual
parameters is in the table below:
Parameter

Default key
Encryption key 1 – 4
Click on the Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now
configure other advance sections or start using the Access Point.

WPA/WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to
authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. After changes of encryption keys are
performed using TKIP or CCMP (AES) methods. Therefore the encryption key is not easy to be broken by
hackers. This can substantially improve wireless network security. You can use WPA encryption with a pre-
shared key in the "AP mode", "Station-AD HOC mode", "Station-Infrastructure mode" and "AP Bridge-WDS
mode".

Description
You can select the type of security which will be used. WEP, WPA and
WPA with RADIUS support is available.
This field is used when using WEP Encryption. It indicates the format for
entering keys. You can choose ASCII or Hexadecimal format.
Default key value for WEP Encryption.
In this field you can choose the WPA key format. Again you can select
ASCII or Hexadecimal format.
Key for data encryption in the WPA system.
Description
64 bit and 128 bit key for encryption of transmitted data can be selected.
A longer WEP key provides a higher level of security, but lowers
throughput.
For the WEP key, ASCII characters (alphanumeric format) or
hexadecimal digits (in "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) can be selected. For
Example:
ASCII characters: guest
Hexadecimal digits 12345abcde
Select one of four keys to encrypt your data. Use only the key selected in
"Default key".
The WEP keys are used for encryption of the data transmitted in the
wireless network. Fill in the text box by following the rules below.
64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range)
or 5-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9"
range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
Description
You can select pre-shared key authentication or authentication with
Radius server. In this case, the Radius server will be used as set in the
upper part of the screen.
For a pre-shared WEP key it is possible to select for the input phrase
ASCII characters (alphanumeric format) or hexadecimal digits (in "A-F",
"a-f" and "0-9" range). For Example:
Input phrase: iamguest
Hexadecimal digits 1234567890abcdef
