SET WEP KEY
ƒ Click the Set WEP Keys will prompt you a window to set 64bit or 128bit
Encryption.
ƒ Select HEX if you are using hexadecimal numbers (0-9, or A-F). Select
ASCII if you are using ASCII characters (case-sensitive).
ƒ Ten hexadecimal digits or five ASCII characters are needed if 64-bit
WEP is used; 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters are needed if
128-bit WEP is used.
Encryption: WPA (TKIP)
WPA (TKIP): If WPA is selected, users will have to select the Authentication modes between Enterprise
(RADIUS) and Personal (Pre-shared Key).
Pre-shared Key Pre-Shared-Key serves as a password. Users may key in a 8 to 63 characters
string to set the password or leave it blank, in which the 802.1x Authentication will
be activated. Make sure the same password is used on client's end.
There are two formats for choice to set the Pre-shared key, i.e. Passphrase and
Hex. If Hex is selected, users will have to enter a 64 characters string. For easier
configuration, the Passphrase (at least 8 characters) format is recommended.
Group Key Life Time Enter the number of seconds that will elapse before the group key change
automatically. The default is 86400 seconds.

Pre-Authentication
The two most important features beyond WPA to become standardized through
802.11i/WPA2 are: pre-authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without
noticeable signal latency.
Preauthentication provides a way to establish a PMK security association before a
client associates. The advantage is that the client reduces the time that it's
disconnected to the network.
