The Security tab allows you to configure the authentication and encryption settings such as:

WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and 802.1x. Each security option is described in detail below.

4.2.4.1 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.
