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
WEP: WEP data encryption can be configured using 64-bit or 128-bit. WEP settings can be used with all
Network Authentication protocols.
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.
