The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Key 1 to Key 4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the NBG318S and the wireless

stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.

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

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

If you chose 128-bit WEP, 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.

LABEL DESCRIPTION

WPA Compatible This check box is available only when you select WPA2-PSK or WPA2 in the

Security Mode field.

Select the check box to have both WPA2 and WPA wireless clients be able to

communicate with the NBG318S even when the NBG318S is using WPA2-PSK or

WPA2.

Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials.

Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including

spaces and symbols).
