Authentication Type: Select an authentication method. Options available are Open
System, Shared Key. An open system allows any client to authenticate as long as it
conforms to any MAC address filter policies that may have been set. All
authentication packets are transmitted without encryption. Shared Key sends an
unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting to communicate with the
Access Point. The device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and
sends it back to the Access Point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the
Access Point allows the requesting device to authenticate. It is recommended to
select Auto if you are not sure which authentication type is used.
Input Type: Select Hex or ASCII from the drop-down list
Key Length: Select a key format from the drop-down list. 64bit-hex keys require 10
characters, where as 128-bit keys require 26 characters. A hex key is defined as a
number between 0 through 9 and letter between A through F.
Default Key: You may use up to four different keys for four different networks. Select
the current key that will be used.
