Wireless USB Adapter
- WPA2 802.1X: WPA2 is the next-generation Wi-Fi security standard,
combining the most powerful authentication and encryption techniques to
protect wireless networks from unauthorized use. Based upon the recently-
ratied IEEE 802.11i standard, WPA2 adds the Advanced Encryption Stan-
dard (AES) to the original WPA specication to provide the greatest levels
of network security available. The National Institute of Standards and Tech-
nology (NIST) advocate the use of AES security to protect sensitive digital
information on government networks.
- WEP 802.1X: Accepts WEP clients and the encryption key is obtained
dynamically through 802.1x.
[Data Encryption]
- Disabled: Disable the WEP Data Encryption.
- WEP: Enabled the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you
have to continue setting the WEP Key Length & the key Index.
- TKIP: Enable the TKIP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you
have to continue setting the Network Key & Conrm network key.
- AES: Enabled the AES Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you
have to continue setting the Network Key & Conrm network key.
- Passphrase: Enter a passphrase (password phrase) of up to 63 case-
sensitive printable characters.
- Network Key: The keys are used to encryption data transmitted in the wire-
less network. Fill in the text box by following rules below:
• 64-bit: Input any 5 ASCII characters or 10 digit Hex values (in the “A-F”,
“a-f”, and
“0-9” range) as the encryption keys. It is advised to use digits and both low-
ercase and uppercase characters - for example: “012345aEfG”
• 128-bit: Input any 13 ASCII characters or 26 digit Hex values (in the “A-F”,
“a-f”, and
• “0-9” range) as the encryption keys. For example:
01234567890123456789aBcDEf”
- Conrm Network Key: Re-type again the Network key in this text box.
- Key Index (Advanced): Each key Index should have 1-4 value and settings
should match values of selected Access Point.
