Note:
To complete the WPA operation, you also need to enable
the WPA client at the wireless client site (the computer
running wireless client’s devices, such as the GWP514
Cardbus card GWP514 Cardbus Card or GWU523 USB
adaptor).
Microsoft provides a free WPA upgrade for Windows XP
Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later or Windows Server 2003.
For any OS other than Win XP, there is client software
available from third-party suppliers such as Funk
Software’s Odyssey (www.funk.com).
The WPA client for Windows XP can be found in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 815485
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;815485) or downloaded directly from Microsoft

Description:
•
WEP Encryption: The WEP encrypts frames
transmitted through wireless module using pre-
entered WEP key. You can configure 4 key sets,
and select one of them to apply.
• WPA Encryption: Wi-Fi protected Access is
designed to improve Data protection and
implement access control for Wireless LAN
system. It encrypts frames transmitted through
wireless module using Pre-share key (PSK) or
the key got dynamically from RADIUS Server.
• 802.1X: When the 802.1X function is enabled, the
Wireless user must authenticate to this router first
to use the Network service. The most common
method of implementing 802.1X is by having a
RADIUS Server on your LAN containing an
authentication database, so the router can work
simultaneously with the server and get the user’s
authentication profile for comparison.
