Parameter
Description
corresponding to the selected SSID without being authenticated, and the data
exchanged between the client and the network is encrypted in WEP security mode.
−
Shared
: It specifies that a shared key is used for authentication and data exchanged is
encrypted using WEP. In this case, a wireless client must use a preset WEP key to
connect to the wireless network corresponding to an SSID of the AP. The wireless
client can be connected to the AP only if the WEP key is the same as that of the AP.
−
802.1x specifies that 802.1x authentication is required and data exchanged is
encrypted using WEP. In this case, ports are enabled when authenticated clients
connect to the AP, and disabled when non-authenticated users connect to the AP.
Default Key
It specifies the WEP key for the Open or Shared encryption type.
For
example, if Default Key is set to Security Key 2, a wireless client can connect to the
wireless network corresponding to the selected SSID only with the password specified by
WEP
Key 2.
ASCII
It is required if the
Open or Shared option is selected.
It allows 5 or 13 ASCII characters in a WEP key.
Hex
It is required
if the Open or Shared option is selected.
It allows 10 or 26
hexadecimal characters in a WEP key.
RADIUS Server
These parameters are dedicated to the 802.1x authentication type.
It specifies the IP address/port number/shared key of the RADIUS server for authentication.

Description
Security Mode
The
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK options are available for
network protection with a presha
red key.
−
WPA-PSK: It indicates that wireless clients can connect to the wireless network
corresponding to the selected SSID using WPA-PSK.
−
WPA2-PSK
: It indicates that wireless clients can connect to the wireless network
corresponding to the selected SSID using WPA2-PSK.
−
Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK: It indicates that wireless clients can connect to the
wireless network corresponding to the selected SSID using either WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK.
Cipher Type
It specifies the encryption algorithm corresponding to the selected
security mode. If
Security Mode is set to WPA-PSK, this parameter has the AES and TKIP values. If
