Setting Wireless Security.
A popup window will allow you to configure the security type for your wireless
connection. There are 2 situations that it will appear:
1.) When you click on Set Security in the Configuration page.
2.) When you are trying to connect to an secured Access Point from Site
Monitor page.
This box will attempt to configure itself to the appropriate authentication type
whenever possible. For example: if you try to connect to an Access Point with WPA
security, this box will pop up WPA authentication setup for you to input information. Of
course, you will still have the option of changing it to another authentication type.
There are 5 options in the Authentication selection box: None, WEP, WPA-
PSK, WPA-Radius, and Radius. Each authentication type provides its own level of
security.
1.) Authentication = NONE– This option means security is turned off for this
connection.
2.) Authentication = WEP Open/Shared
Encryption Status - This option includes WEP64, and WEP128
WEP 64/WEP128 - The 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption
algorithm provided by RSA uses RC4 encryption and decryption,
which is based on a 40-bit key, and 104-bit key respectively. Select
the same encryption that is used by your Access Point.
