Motorola WR850G - Manual (Page 47)

CONFIGURATION SECTION 3
SECTION 3, CONFIGURATION 3-13
Field Description
Encryption Status Determines the type of security encryption
algorithms for the Key Index. This security
setting encrypts your wireless transmission.
! None, WEP64, and WEP128 are available
only when Open System or Pre-Shared
KEY (PSK) is selected.
! TKIP and AES are available only when
WPA or WPA-PSK are selected.
The options are:
None No security
WEP64 Wired Equivalent Privacy - 64-bit
strength (provides 4 Keys)
WEP128 Wired Equivalent Privacy -
128-bit strength (provides 2
Keys)
TKIP Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
- changes the temporal key often
(provides 1 Key)
AES Advanced Encryption Standard
(provides 1 Key)
Select the option that best matches your needs.
Motorola recommends using AES (which
requires WPA or WPA-PSK selected) because
it provides the strongest security algorithm.
The default is None.
802.1X mode Can only be enabled when the ESS
Authorization is set to Open or PSK and either
WEP64 or WEP128 is selected (see the
Encryption Status field). During the
Authentication process, the server verifies the
identity of the client attempting to connect to
the network. When WPA or WPA-PSK is
selected in the ESS Authentication field, this
option is automatically selected.
If not already enabled, select to activate this
feature. When enabled, Dynamic Key
generation occurs. That is, when the client
requests a key, this function dynamically
generates one.
The default is disabled.
