Item Description

Encryption

Match the type of wireless encryption used by the wireless network.
This security setting encrypts your wireless transmission.

Disabled – No encryption used

WEP 64 – Wired Equivalent Privacy - 64-bit strength (provides 4
Keys)

WEP 128 – Wired Equivalent Privacy - 128-bit strength (provides
2 Keys)

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) - changes the temporal
key often (provides 1 Key)

TKIP is recommended for home users.

Key Input

Available if WEP or WPA-PSK encryption is selected. Select the type
used by the wireless network:

Pass Phrase

Hexadecimal

ASCII

Pass-phrase

If the wireless network uses a pass-phrase for WEP or WPA-PSK,
type it here and click Generate Keys. The Key fields are populated
with the equivalent of the pass phrase in WEP.

In WPA-PSK, there is no need to generate keys as the pass-phrase is
shared between the client and the server.

The Pass-phrase must be between 8 and 63 characters. There is no
guarantee that the pass-phrase option will work with non-Motorola
devices.

Key Index

Match the Key Index used by the wireless network. The number you
select here determines which field is used below. For example, a Key
Index of 2 corresponds to the Key 2 field.

Key 1 – 4

If you are not using a WEP pass-phrase for your wireless network,
type the network’s security WEP key into the appropriate key field
(determined by what is selected in the Key Index).

Apply

Click to save your settings.
