Encryption Page
1 Authentication Type
Open System in which the sender and the recipient do NOT share a secret key.
Each party generates its own key-pair and asks the receiver to
accept the randomly generated key. Once accepted, this key is used
for a short time only. Then a new key is generated and agreed upon.
Shared Key is both the sender and the recipient share a secret key.
If the “Shared Key” and “Both” option is selected, it will not be able to perform the
option “disable” of the WEP Type.
This page is the security configuration of the wireless connection. Protects your informa-
tion with the highest level of industry-standard WEP encryption: 64/128-bit for 802.11b
standard, and up to 152-bit for 802.11g standards. When the “Disable” is selected there is
no WEP encryption. When “64bits”, “128bits” or “152bits” selected there is encrypted
date transfer to prevent unauthorized user to access the wireless network.
You may choose between “Open System”, “Shared Key”, “Both”, “802.1x -
Dynamic WEP”, “WPA”, “WPA-PSK”. The Authentication Type default is set to “Open
System”.
