Encryption
An encryption function can avoid unintended users who are not at the same
wireless LAN user group to access or get information. The “Encryption”
options allow you to enable 64-bit or 128-bit WEP (wired equivalent privacy)
encryption. If an encryption function is not needed, you can just simply tick
on the “Disable” box to disable it. By choosing this option you must define the
encryption key values of your choice. There are four 5 Hex digit encryption
keys available if you select 64 bit WEP or there are four 13 Hex digit
encryption keys available if you select 128 bit WEP.
WEP Key to use is a mechanism to enable the encryption function. After
enabling the WEP users need to select the authentication type, open system
key or shared key.
Open System with this setting any station in the WLAN can associate with
this device to receive and transmitted data.
Shared Key with this setting only stations using a share key encryption
identified by this device are allowed to associate with it.
