points attempting to connect to the same network.
Channel: If set to ad hoc network type, user can select channels form the
pull-down menu.
Wireless network security
Network Authentication: There are several types of authentication
modes including Open System, Shared Key, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK,
WPA 802.1X, WPA2 802.1X and WEP 802.1X.
Data encryption: For Open System, Shared Key and WEP 802.1X
authentication mode, the selection of encryption type is WEP. For
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA 802.1X and WPA2 802.1X authentication
mode, the encryption type supports both TKIP and AES.
When encryption is set to WEP…
ASCII: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. When key
length is set to 64 bits user can enter 5 ASCII characters (case sensitive),
and 128 bits for 13 ASCII characters (case sensitive).
PASS PHRASE: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm.
When key length is set to 64 bits user can enter 10 Hexadecimal characters
(0~9, a~f) and 128 bits for 26 Hexadecimal characters (0~9, a~f).
Key index (advanced): Select 1~4 key index form the pull-down menu,
must match with the connected AP’s key index.
When encryption is set to WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK…
Network key: Enter network key at least 8 to 64 characters.
Confirm network key: Enter network key again to confirm.
When encryption is set to WPA 802.1X/ WPA2 802.1X/ WEP
802.1X…
When users use radius server to authenticate client certificate for WPA
authentication mode (WPA authentication do not support EAP Method-
MD5-Challenge).
EAP TYPE:
 TLS: Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and
mutual authentication of the client and the network. It relies on
client-side and server-side certificates to perform authentication and
can be used to dynamically generate user-based and session-based
WEP keys to secure subsequent communications between the WLAN
client and the access point.
 LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP
authentication type used primarily in Cisco Aironet WLANs. It
encrypts data transmissions using dynamically generated WEP keys,
and supports mutual authentication.
 TTLS: Tunnelled Transport Layer Security. This security method
provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and
network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS
requires only server-side certificates.
 PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport
securely authentication data by using tunnelling between PEAP clients
and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN
