BITS
A preshared key, which controls access to the WLAN network, is used in the WPA settings
with the WEP 64 bits / 128 bits mode. The difference is that this key cannot be changed in 
WEP mode, but remains a static key. 
A
UTHENTICATION TYPE
:
Automatic: 
The Automatic mode automatically selects the authentication type. 
Open System: 
The Open System authentication type is the default authentication setting. 
Shared Key: 
The Shared Key authentication type is using an extended handshake mechanism for 
logging in, which however, does not provide additional security. 
Key encoding: 
ASCII or HEX may be used as key encoding types. ASCII is a 7-bit, and HEX is a 16-bit 
encoding system. 
WEP key: 
The WEP key is restricted to 5 characters if ASCII is selected. HEX allows entering a 10-
digit WEP key. No words, but combinations of letters and numbers should be used when 
choosing the key.
