• Authentication Type: Open or Shared
Authentication Type: With the Open method, every wireless station can request
authentication. With Shared authentication, the station requesting authentication must
provide a secret key (which can be obtained from the network administrator) using
a secure channel (independent of the 802.11 wireless communications channel).
Encryption: Select None or WEP.
WEP Key#1...4: When you select WEP encryption or Shared authentication without
802.1x, you need to enter a correct WEP key.
• If a 64-bit WEP key is used, enter 10 hexadecimal characters or 5 ASCII characters.
• If a 128-bit WEP key is used, enter 26 hexadecimal characters or 13 ASCII
characters.
Show Password: Select this box if you do not want password characters to be replaced
with “*”.

supports full user authentication and control.
802.1x Setting: If IEEE 802.1x is enabled, click this button to open a dialog box with
IEEE 802.1x parameters.
