Encryption:
Select from the drop-down menu.
• None: Disables the encryption mode.
• WEP: Enables the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, .you need to continue setting
the WEP Encryption keys.
• TKIP: The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a kind
of message transmitted over a network.) .This ensures much greater security than the standard WEP
security.
• AES: AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital
information. It’s the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for security in the wireless
network.
Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption method to ensure the security of
communications.
WPA Pre-Shared Key:
The WPA-PSK key can be 8 to 64 characters in length and can be letters or numbers. This same key
must be used on all the wireless stations in the network.
WEP Key (Key#1–4):
WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. There are two types of key
length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Assign a default encryption key (Key#1 to Key#4) by clicking on the
corresponding radio button. To fill in each text field:
• 64-bit: Input 10-digit hex values (in the A-F, a-f and 0-9 range) or 5-digit ASCII characters (a-z and
0-9) as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“or “test1.”
