Data - WEP Screen
Normally, you can leave this at “Automatic”, so that Wireless Stations
can use either method ("Open System" or "Shared Key".).
If you wish to use a particular method, select the appropriate value -
"Open System" or "Shared Key". All Wireless stations must then be set
to use the same method.
Select the desired option, and ensure your Wireless stations have the
same setting:
64 Bit (10 Hex char) - Keys are 10 Hex (5 ASCII) characters.
128 Bit (26 Hex char) - Keys are 26 Hex (13 ASCII) characters.
Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is
ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are for
decryption only.
You must enter a Key Value for the Default Key.
Enter the key value or values you wish to use. The Key is required, the
other keys are optional. Other stations must have the same key.
If desired, you can generate a key from a phrase, instead of entering the
key value directly. Enter the desired phrase, and click the "Generate
Keys" button.
Security Settings - WPA-PSK
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should
be used if possible. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. The
256Bit encryption key is derived from the PSK, and changes frequently.
