Authentication and Security

The Security tab allows you to configure the authentication and encryption
settings such as: WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and 802.1x. Each security
option is described in detail below.


WEP Encryption

The WEP tab displays the WEP settings. Encryption is designed to make the
data transmission more secure. You may select 64 or 128-bit WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) key to encrypt data (Default setting is Disable). WEP
encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using one of the Keys from a
panel. When you use WEP to communicate with the other wireless clients, all
the wireless devices in this network must have the same encryption key or pass
phrase. The following information is included in this tab, as the image depicts
below.
