Encryption
This setting specifies whether to enable or disable encryption. You can select a type of encryption from
among "WEP", "AES", "AES
-
OCB", and "TKIP". If you select "AES" or "TKIP", one of the WPA
functions described later can be used. When "TKIP" is selected, use one of the WPA functions. If you
disable encryption, neither key can be used as the default key.

WPA function
Specify the authentication type when WPA is used. This item can be set only when encryption has
been set to "AES" or "TKIP".
The available authentication types are "WPA", "WPA-PSK", "WPA2", "WPA2-PSK", "WPA-AUTO",
and "WPA-AUTO-PSK".
"WPA-AUTO" and "WPA-AUTO-PSK" are modes combining WPA (-PSK) and WPA2 (-PSK). When
these modes are used, it is determined whether each station uses WPA (-PSK) or WPA2 (-PSK) and
communication is performed according to the authentication type of each station.
To use IEEE 802.1X authentication-based WPA, select "WPA", "WPA2" or "WPA-AUTO" and set up
IEEE 802.1X.
To use WPA without an authentication server, select "WPA-PSK", "WPA2-PSK", or "WPA-AUTO-
PSK", and set the WPA encryption key described below.
When encryption is "AES", you can select "Disable". WPA is not used at this time. When encryption is
"TKIP", you cannot select "Disable". Select an item other than "Disable".
"WPA-AUTO" and "WPA-AUTO-PSK" are available only when the unit type is "Access point". These
items cannot be set when the unit type is "Station".
