Long Range Wireless Access Point / Client Bridge Version 1.0

 Authentication Type: Select an authentication method. Options
available are Open Key, Shared Key or Auto. An open system allows
any client to authenticate as long as it conforms to any MAC
address filter policies that may have been set. All authentication
packets are transmitted without encryption. Shared Key sends an
unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting to
communicate with the Access Point. The device requesting
authentication encrypts the challenge text and sends it back to the
Access Point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the
Access Point allows the requesting device to authenticate. It is
recommended to select Auto if you are not sure which
authentication type is used.
 Input Type: Select He or ASCII from the drop-down list
 Key Length: Select a key format from the drop-down list. 64bit-hex

and letter between A through F.
