Open/None authentication/WEP encryption
This ad hoc network uses no network authentication with WEP data encryption.
Name Description
Network Authentication
Open: No authentication used. Open authentication allows a wireless device access to the network
without 802.11 authentication. The access point allows any request for authentication. If no encryption is
enabled on the network, any wireless device with the correct network name (SSID) can associate with
the access point and gain access to the network.
Data Encryption
None: No data encryption used.
WEP: WEP data encryption can be configured using 64-bit or 128-bit. When WEP encryption is enabled
on an access point, the WEP key provides a way to verify access to the network. If the wireless device
does not have the correct WEP key, even though authentication is successful, the device is unable to
transmit data through the access point or decrypt data received from the access point.
Encryption Level
64-bit or 128-bit: 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.
Key Index
1,2,3,4: Up to four passwords may be specified by changing the Key Index.
