Chapter 2 Basic Installation & Configuration
Shared–Only wireless adapters using a shared key
(WEP Key identified) are allowed to connecting to
the AP.
WPA NONE–Under this mode, you can only set
encryption and WPA-Preshared Key settings.
Use 802.1x This setting only takes effect when using“Open”,
“Shared”, “WPA”or“WPA2”mode. Click this
button and then click“802.1x Setting”, the“802.1x
Setting”sub-window will pop up.
Encryption Under“Open”and“Shared”mode, you can use
“None” and “WEP”encryption types. Under “WPA-
PSK” and “WPA2-PSK”, you can use “TKIP” and
“AES”.
WEP–Short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a
security protocol for wireless local area networks
(WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP
aims to provide security by encrypting data over
radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted
from one end point to another.
AES–Short for Advanced Encryption Standard, a
symmetric 128-bit block data encryption technique.
It works at multiple network layers simultaneously
and has a fixed block size of 128-bits and a key size
of 128, 192, or 256-bits.
TKIP–It is short for Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol. TKIP scrambles the key using a hashing
algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking
f e a t u r e , e n s u r e s t h a t t h e k e y s h a v e n ’t b e e n
tampered with.
