WEP

WEP allows you to use data encryption to secure your data from being eavesdropped by
malicious people. It allows 3 types of key: 64 (WEP64), 128 (WEP128), and 152 (WEP152)
bits. You can configure up to 4 keys using either ASCII or Hexadecimal format.


Key Settings: The length of a
WEP64 key must be equal to 5
bytes, a WEP128 key is 13
bytes, and a WEP152 key is 16
bytes.

Key Index: You have to specify
which of the four keys will be
active.

Once you enable the WEP
function, please make sure that
both the WH-9200AP and the
wireless client stations use the
same key.





Note: Some wireless client cards only allow Hexadecimal digits for WEP keys.
Please note that when configuring WEP keys, a WEP128 ASCII key looks like “This is a key”(13
characters), while a WEP128 Hex key looks like “546869732069732061206b6579”(26 HEX)
(hexadecimal notation are 0-9 and A-F).

802.1X

802.1x allows users to leverage a RADIUS server to do association authentications. You
can also enable dynamic WEP key (128 bit) to have data encryption. Here you do not have
to enter the WEP key manually because it will be generated automatically and dynamically.
