Chapter 4 INTERFACES Menu
• Auth Method . This feature allows the user to select the authentication
method used for the wireless network interface.
• Open (factory default). Selects open authentication.
• Shared . Selects shared key authentication.
• WEP Key 1 through 4 . These are the individual characters of the
encryption key. If the "WEP Key x Width" is set to 40 Bits, the key values
can be entered in the following 5 sub menus (BYTE 1, …, BYTE 5). If the
"WEP Key x Width" is set to 128 Bits, the key values can be entered in the
following 13 sub menus (BYTE 1, …, BYTE 13). The key values must
configure to match the corresponding key in the Access Point's key
configuration.
NOTE: The WEP Key Width is the number of bits used for encryption. This
can be set to either 40 Bits or 128 Bits and must match the Access
Point's configuration.
• Default WEP Key . This feature enables you to encrypt (scramble)
information for security purposes. With this feature, you can set up to four
encryption keys, in either ASCII or hexadecimal format, and in either 40 or
128 bits. (The more bits you choose, the more difficult it will be to decode
the information.)
The default key must match the Access Point's configuration. If the
Access Point is configured to use "Open System", the default key should
be set to 0. If the Access Point is configured to use 40-bit or 128-bit WEP
encryption key, the encryption key must be set to the same setting as the
Access Point's setting. There are four keys (1-4) that an Access Point can
use. If the Access Point is set to use key 1, the default key must be set to
1 to correspond to the Access Point's setting.
NOTE: None of the WEP Key Configuration menus display on the
configuration printout.
• Reset WEP Keys . Allows you to reset all four WEP keys (WEP Key 1
through WEP Key 4) at one time.
• WPA Mode . Selects the WPA wireless security mode.
• Disable (the default). WPA security is disabled.
• Personal . Selects personal or pre-shared key mode for WPA
security.
• Enterprise . Selects EAP authentication methods.
• WPA Cipher . Selects the WPA wireless security cipher setting. Options
include:
• Disable (the default)
• TKIP
• AES
• TKIP+AES
• WPA P-Phs . Allows you to set the individual bytes of the WPA
passphrase.
• Reset WPA P-Phs . Allows you to reset all 32 bytes of the WPA
passphrase at once.
