WEP Encryption -- Selecting Disabled disables WEP data encryption. Selecting
Enabled enables WEP data encryption and requires that a valid network key be set
and selected unless 802.1X is enabled.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) -- WEP is a protocol for wireless LANs or local area
networks. This WEP is defined in the 802.11 Standard. WEP is designed so security
levels are maintained at the same level as the wired LAN. WEP's aim is to provide
security by encrypting data over radio waves. WEP protects data as it's transmitted
from one end point to another. WEP is used at two lowest layers, the data link and
physical layer. WEP is designed to make up for the inherent security in wireless
transmission as compared to wired transmission.
Shared Key Authentication -- Sets whether shared key authentication is required.
A valid network key must be set and selected if required.
