User's Manual

WPA2 provides data encryption via the AES. In contrast, WPA

uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).

WEP 802.1X – It‟s a special mode for using IEEE 802.1x/EAP

technology for authentication and WEP keys for data encryption.

Data

Encryption

Disabled – Disable the WEP Data Encryption.

WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is

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 insures much

greater security than the standard WEP security. (Note: This

mode is not certified. Performance may vary under this setting.)

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.

ASCII

WEP Key can be ASCII format. Alphanumeric values or signs

are allowed to be the WEP key. It is more recognizable for user.

PASSPHRASE

It is a text string with a maximum of 32 alphanumeric

characters, for example: “Test“. The WEP Key is based upon

the Passphrase determined by you. This passphrase may not

work with other vendors‟ products due to possible incompatibility

with other vendors‟ passphrase generators. You must use the

same passphrase or WEP key settings for all wireless

computers within the network.

Key Length

When you select the “WEP and “PASSPHRASE" and this

function will display in the current status of the utility.

The keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless

network. Fill the text box by following the rules below.

64-bit – Input 10-digit Hex values as the encryption keys. For

example: “0123456aef“.
