longer the Key Length, the more secure the encryption is.

„

Key Type: 2 types are available: ASCII and HEX. ASCII is a string of ASCII

code including alphabetical characters, space, signs and numbers (i.e.

“airlivepass12”). HEX is a string of 16-bit hexadecimal digits (0..9, a, b, c, d, e, f).

All wireless devices on the network must match the exact key length and Key type.

Some Wireless clients only allow HEX type for WEP.

„

ASCII-64: This is a key with 64-bit key length of ASCII type. Please enter 5

ASCII Characters if you choose this option. For example, “passw”

„

HEX-64: This is a key with 64-bit key length of HEX type. Please enter 10

Hexadecimal digits if you choose this option. For example, “12345abcdef”

„

ASCII-128: This is a key with 64-bit key length of ASCII type. Please enter 13

ASCII Characters if you choose this option. For example, “airlivewepkey”

„

HEX-128: This is a key with 128-bit key length of HEX type. Please enter 26

Hexadecimal digits if you choose this option. For example,

“1234567890abcdef1234567890”


WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Mixed (Pre-Shared Key)

The WPA Personal is also known as “WPA-PSK” encryption. Wi-Fi Protected Access

(WPA) introduces the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) that provides added

security. WPA2 adds full support for 802.11i standard and the CCMP (AES Encryption).

The WPA-Mixed tries to authenticate wireless clients using both WPA-PSK or

WPA2-PSK.

„

Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While

CCMP provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be

equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select

Mixed to allow TKIP clients

and CCMP clients to connect to the Access Point at the same time.
