Figure 16. Authentication and Security
Authentication:
Before a station connects to a SSID, the authentication type used by
the SSID must be known. Authentication types include OPEN SYSTEM, SHARED, LEAP,
WAP, WAP-PSK, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK. (Default: Open)
Encryption:
To prevent unauthorized access to data transmitted on the network, the
Adapter and the Access Point agree on a type of data encryption. Any station that wishes
to connect, must have the same password and encryption scheme to connect. Different
authentication types have different level of security.
WEP encryption:
Select one of the four keys as the default encrypted key.
To setup WEP, you will need to set a ASCII or HEX key to connect to Access Point. The
WEP Key can only be saved through the setting of profile.
1. Select a Key #.
2. Select a form of the key (Hex or ASCII).
3. Enter password. Please enter 26
hexadecimal digits
or 13 ASCII digits.
4. Click OK to save the settings.
Making HEX keys:
64-bit - Generated as 10 alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-f) (example: 843c29a562)
128bit - Generated as 26 alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-f) (example:
3c29f2536bef3276d32e364a2c)
