2Wpa/Wpa2 Encryption - Hama 00062764 V2 Bedienungsanleitung

You can now store four codes in the lower section of the window. The selected code is always used.
64 bit or 128 bit encryption is supported. 128 bit encryption is more secure. First select whether you want to
use Hex (allows characters from 0-9 and a-f to be used) or ASCII characters (You can use any characters).
The setting and the selection of either 64 or 128 bit encryption determines the length of the code to be
entered.
WEP 64 bit ASCII requires 5 characters
WEP 64 bit HEX requires 10 characters
WEP 128 bit ASCII requires 13 characters
WEP 128 bit HEX requires 26 characters
Examples: 64 bit Hex (10 characters) = 231074a6ef
64 bit ASCII (5 characters) = j31n.
128 bit Hex (26 characters) = 231074a6b9773ce43f91a5bef3
128 bit ASCII (13 characters) = urlaub2006.+0
2.2.2.2 WPA/WPA2 encryption
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture,
but offers additional protection via dynamic codes, which are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP), and also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) or extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for user
authentication. However, a radius server is required for this. WPA2 is a development of WPA and uses a
different encryption algorithm, advanced encryption standard (AES).
WPA offers two types of authentication, either pre-shared key or authentication via special authentication
protocols, which are generally variations of EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). An authentication
server (RADIUS server) is used for the latter authentication method, which is rarely used for private
applications. Your administrator can give you the information you require to configure this authentication
method.
The pre-shared key method is more common and offers a high degree of security.
To use WPA encryption, select WPA-PSK under
Authentication type and TKIP under Encryption.
Now enter the code used in the WPA preshared key field.
The code entered must be absolutely identical with that
used in the network. It must be min. 8 and max. 63 random
characters for ASCII. Letters (A-Z), numbers and
punctuation marks can be used. 64 characters are
required for HEX, whereby only characters from 0-9 and
a-f can be used. If you do not have this code, it can be
found in your router/access point or you can ask the
person responsible for these devices.
Save the settings and click OK.
