WEP128: Allows the wireless station adapter to communicate with the Access Point with
data 128-bit encryption algorithm.
WPA-PSK: Allows the wireless station adapter to communicate with the Access Point
with a more secure data protection than the WEP. Here you can select the WPA with PSK
mode to improve the data security and privacy during wireless transmission. The present
WPA supplied with this 802.11g WLAN outdoor hotspot is used in a pre-shared key mode,
which does not require an authentication (Radius) server.
Moreover, the 802.11g WLAN outdoor hotspot provides three types of authentication services:
Auto, Open System and Shared Key. The default authentication type is Auto. Open
System requires no authentication since it allows any device to join a network without
performing any security check. If you require higher security for wireless access, you may
select Shared Key. Note that when Shared Key is selected, a WEP key is required and must
be the same between the Access Point and client.
For 40bit encryption you may choose:
ASCII: Enter 5 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9” (e.g.
MyKey).
Hex: Alternatively, you may enter 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of “ A-F”, “a-f” and
“ 0 -9” (e.g. 11AA22BB33).
For 128bit encryption you may choose:
ASCII: Enter 13 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9” (e.g.
MyKey12345678).
Hex: Alternatively, you may enter 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of “ A-F”, “a-f” and
“ 0 -9” (e.g. 00112233445566778899AABBCC).
After entering the WEP keys in the key field, select one key as active key.
