Authentica
-tion
Mode
AUTO
(Option: AUTO, OPEN, SHARED, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK)
An authentication mode defines the procedure that the 802.11 device uses
when it authenticates and associates with an access point.
•
AUTO : Specifies IEEE 802.11 Auto System authentication.
•
OPEN : Specifies IEEE 802.11 Open System authentication.
•
SHARED : Specifies IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication that uses a pr
eshared WEP key.
•
WPA-PSK : Specifies WPA security. Authentication is performed between th
e supplicant and authenticator over IEEE 802.1X. Encryption keys are dyna
mic and are derived through the preshared key used by the supplicant and
authenticator.
•WPA2-PSK : Specifies WPA2 security. Authentication is performed between
the supplicant and authenticator over IEEE 802 1X. Encryption keys are dy
namic and are derived through the preshared key used by the supplicant a
nd authenticator.
•
WPA-NONE : Specifies WPA security. Specifies the use of a preshared key
without IEEE 802.1X authentication. Encryption keys are static and are deriv
ed through the preshared key. This mode is applicable only to ad hoc netw
ork types.
Encryption
Type
NONE
(Option: NONE, WEP, TKIP, AES)
Encryption modes define the set of cipher suites that can be enabled on the
802.11 device.
•
NONE : Not used.
•
WEP : Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the RC4-based algorithm specified in
the IEEE 802.11 specification.
•TKIP : Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is the RC4-based cipher suite
based on the algorithms defined in the WPA and IEEE 802.11i specifications.
•AES : The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) defines an encryption
algorithm in FIPS PUB 197.

Password for the TKIP encryption type.
(Up to 64 bytes)
Connection
Type
DHCP
Sets an IP address type in a wireless network.
(Option: DHCP, Static IP)
•DHCP : Assign a dynamic IP address through a DHCP server.
•
Static IP : Specify an IP address manually.
