Wireless Authentication
EKI-1351 and EKI-1352 now support WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption
operation mode. WEP is a kind of standard to encrypt the data frame. We will
enhance other encryption mode in future.
l
Authentication Type: There are three kinds of types in this drop-down menu.
l
Open System: No encryption for network communication. You can neglect
the key setting on the right side.
l
WEP Share Key: Both communication devices use the same key as encryp-
tion.
l
Automatic: Detect the WEP situation of the access point automatically. EKI-
1351 and EKI-1352 will use the current key for encryption. If EKI-1351/
1352’s key does not coincide with the access point’s key, the user should
reset the same key and reboot to connect.
l
Encryption: If the system needs WEP encryption, the user has to set the key
type. There are two kinds of encryption keys: 64 bits and 128 bits. For an open
system, the encryption function is disabled.
l
Key Format: The table shows the allowed characters and length of the different
key index and key formats.
