The following table describes the wireless LAN security labels on this screen.

9.3.3 WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode list.

Table 29 Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G/5G > General: Static WEP

LABEL DESCRIPTION

Security Mode Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.

PassPhrase Enter a Passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click Generate.

A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further converted by

the EMG2926-Q10A into a complicated string that is referred to as the “key”. This key is

requested from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless network.

WEP Encryption Select 64-bits or 128-bits.

This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.

Authentication

Method

Select Auto or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.

This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to login to

the wireless client. Keep this setting at Auto unless you want to force a key verification

before communication between the wireless client and the EMG2926-Q10A occurs.

Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to communication.

ASCII Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as a WEP key.

Hex Select this option in order to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.

The preceding "0x", that identifies a hexadecimal key, is entered automatically.

Key 1 to Key 4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the EMG2926-Q10A and the wireless

stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.

If you chose 64-bits, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters

("0-9", "A-F").

If you chose 128-bits, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-

9", "A-F").

You must configure at least one key, only one key can be activated at any one time. The

default key is key 1.
