Planet Technology Network Device WAP-4033PE - Manual (Page 28)

WEP key length will provide higher level of security, but the throughput
will be lower.
Key Format You may select to select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or
Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) to be the WEP
Key. For example:
ASCII Characters: guest
Hexadecimal Digits: 12345abcde
Default Tx Key Select one of the four keys to encrypt your data. Only the key you select
it in the “Default key” will take effect.
Encryption Key 1 - Key 4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless
network. Fill 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 character 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.
Enable 802.1x Authentication Check this box when you would like to enable 802.1x authentication
with WEP encryption. You may refer to section 3.4.1 to enter the correct
setting of the fields.
After configuration complete, please click “Apply” button to save the configuration. Then you will
see a screen to prompt you the settings are save successfully. You may press “Continue” for
configure other settings or “Apply” to restart WAP-4033PE with new configuration.
3.4.3 WPA pre-shared key
WiFi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key
to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP
(AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be broken
by hackers. This can improve security very much. You can use WPA pre-shared key encryption
in “AP mode”, “Station-Ad Hoc mode”, “Station-Infrastructure mode”, “AP Bridge-WDS mode”
and “Universal Repeater mode”.
