Field Description
Authentication WEP allows three authentication options: open system, shared key, or automatic
selection of authentication method.
Shared key authentication adds another layer of security by requiring that the MM2211
Gateway supply a shared key first to authenticate to the Mesh Networks Outdoor
Router, and then supply the same shared key for encrypting and decrypting data.
Choosing Auto, automatically selects the authentication mode depending on the
method used by the remote AP.
Key Entry Method You can choose either Hexadecimal or ASCII as the entry method
PassPhrase
The MM2211 Gateway supports automatic generation of four keys from a passphrase.
Make sure that the passphrase is the same as the passphrase used on the remote AP.
