selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption
keys.
TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the
temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of
message transmitted over a network.) This ensures much
greater security than the standard WEP security.
AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree
of security and authenticity for digital information and it is the
most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the
security in the wireless network.
Note: All devices in the network should use the same
encryption method to ensure the communication.
 Default Key (Key index)
Select WEP key index. For most of access points you can
select “1”, but please refer to the setting of the access point.
 Key Format
When the encryption type is “WEP”, it’s required to input a set
of “passphrase” to connect to wireless access point. Check
“ASCII” or “PASSPHRASE” depends on the security setting of
access point, and input it in the box; if you select
“PASSPHRASE”, you also need to select the length of the
key. The passphrase must be identical with the setting of
wireless access point you wish to connect.
 WEP Key
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the
wireless network.
 WPA Preshared Key
The WPA-PSK key can be from 8 to 64 characters and can be
letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the
wireless stations on the network.
 Show Password
Check this box and all passphrases or security keys you
inputted will be displayed as you type, but do not replace your
input with asterisk.
