Data Encryption Disabled – Disable the WEP Data Encryption.
WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When this is selected,
you need to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys.
TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the
temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is 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, and it is 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 proper communication.
ASCII The WEP key can be in ASCII format (alphanumeric values or
signs are allowed) so it’s more recognizable for users.
PASSPHRASE This is a text string with a maximum of 32 alphanumeric
characters; for example, “Test.” The WEP key is based on the
passphrase determined by you. This passphrase may not work
with other vendors’ products due to possible incompatibility with
other vendors’ passphrase generators, so you must use the same
passphrase or WEP key settings for all wireless computers within
the network.
Key Length When you select “WEP and “PASSPHRASE,“ this function will
display in the current status of the utility. The keys are used to
encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Fill the text box
by following the rules below.
64-bit – Input 10-digit hex values as the encryption keys. For
example: “0123456aef.“
128-bit – Input 26-digit hex values as the encryption keys. For
example: “01234567890123456789abcdef.“
Key Index (advanced) Select one of the four keys to be the data encryption key.
Network Key Enter the network security key ensure the password is correct.
Confirm Network Key Enter the network security key again.
