•
Static WEP. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys must be manually configured.
•
Static TKIP (WPA-PSK). Only TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) mechanism
of WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is enabled. In this mode, you have to specify the
Pre-shared key, which will be used by the TKIP engine as a master key to gener-
ate keys that actually encrypt outgoing packets and decrypt incoming packets.
NOTE: The number of characters of the Pre-shared key setting must be at least 8
and can be up to 63.
•
IEEE 802.1x EAP without Encryption (EAP-MD5). The IEEE 802.1x functionality
is enabled and the user-name/password-based EAP-MD5 authentication is used.
No data encryption.
•
IEEE 802.1x EAP with Static WEP (EAP-MD5). The IEEE 802.1x functionality is
enabled and the user-name/password-based EAP-MD5 authentication is used.
Data encryption is achieved by static WEP.
•
IEEE 802.1x EAP with Dynamic WEP (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP). The IEEE
802.1x functionality is enabled and dynamic WEP key distribution authentication
(EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, or PEAP) is used. Data encryption is achieved by dynamic
WEP.
•
IEEE 802.1x EAP with Dynamic TKIP (WPA). This is a full WPA mode, in which
both the TKIP and IEEE 802.1x dynamic key exchange mechanisms are enabled.
The AP is highly secured in this mode.
In the above security modes, a back-end RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service) server is needed if IEEE 802.1x functionality is enabled. See Section 3.5.3 for
more information about IEEE 802.1x and RADIUS.
According to the IEEE 802.11 standard, WEP can be used for authentication and data
encryption. Normally, Shared Key authentication is used if WEP data encryption is en-
abled. In rare cases, Open System authentication may be used when WEP data encryp-
tion is enabled. The Authentication algorithm setting is provided for better compatibil-
ity with wireless clients with various WLAN network adapters. There are three options
available, including Open System, Shared Key, and Auto.
When WEP is enabled by a security mode, the Key length can be specified to be 64
Bits or 128 Bits. The Selected key setting specifies the key to be used as a send-key
for encrypting traffic from the AP side to the wireless client side. All 4 WEP keys are
used as receive-keys to decrypt traffic from the wireless client side to the AP side.
NOTE: Each field of a WEP key setting is a hex-decimal number from 00 to FF. For
example, when the security mode is Static WEP and the key length is 64 Bits, you
could set Key 1 to “00012E3ADF”.
