Security Set-
ting

Disabled - no data encryption is used.
WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK stan-

dard. This is a later standard than WEP, and provides much
better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations sup-
port WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.

WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK,

and offers even greater security, using the AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) method of encryption.

WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius

Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication ac-
cording to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are
encrypted using the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:

AP Client
SSID1

Please type your wireless AP or Router Client SSID to connect
wireless Repeater mode.

3.9 Wireless Security

This screen is accessed by clicking the "Configure" button on the Wireless screen.
There are 4 options for Wireless security:
Disabled - no data encryption is used.
WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard.
WPA-PSK - data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later stan-

dard than WEP, and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless
stations support WPA-PSK, you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.

WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater

security, using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.

WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to

provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmis-
sions are encrypted using the WPA standard.
If this option is selected:
• This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.
• Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data

when required.

• All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are auto-

matically generated, so no key input is required.
