Authentication Type:

Select an authentication type from the drop-down list, which

allows you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface. Options available

are: Disabled, WEP-64Bits, WEP-128Bits, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK/

WPA2-PSK.

1)

WEP-64Bits

To configure WEP-64Bits settings, select the WEP-64Bits option from the drop-down list. The

menu will change to offer the appropriate settings. WEP-64Bits is a data privacy mechanism

based on a 64-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11g standard.

Figure 4-16

2)

WEP-128Bits

To configure WEP-128Bits settings, select the WEP-128Bits option from the drop-down list.

The menu will change to offer the appropriate settings. 128-bit is stronger than 64-bit.

the

drop-down

list.
