Encryption Type:
Five options are available in the drop-down menu. • Not Use: Disables the encryption mode.
• WEP: Enables WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, continue setting the WEP Key.
• 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 standard WEP
security.
• AES: Advanced Encryption Standard was developed to provide the highest degree of security and
authenticity for digital information. It’s the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for
security in a wireless network.
• BOTH: In this mode, the AP supports both TKIP and AES.
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.
Group Rekey Interval:
This function is available when using WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK encryption algorithms.
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.”
• 128-bit: Input 26-digit hex values (in the A-F, a-f and 0-9 range) or 13-digit ASCII characters (“a-z”
and “0-9”) as the encryption keys. For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef“ or “administrator.”
