Shared Key (WEP)
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides a basic level of security, preventing
unauthorized access to the network and encrypting data transmitted between
wireless clients and the BreezeMAX Si 4000. WEP uses static shared keys
(fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed
to all clients that want to use the network.
When enabled, you must configure at least one WEP key for the Wi-Fi interface
and all its clients:
Default Key (1 ~ 4)
– Sets WEP key values for authentication and encryption. The
user must first choose between ASCII or Hexadecimal keys. At least one key must
be specified. Each WEP key has an index number. The selected key is used for
authentication and encryption on the Wi-Fi interface. Enter key values that match
the key type and length settings. (Default: Hex, 64 bits, no preset value)
»
Key Type
: Specifies keys as either ASCII or Hexadecimal values.
»
Key Length
: WEP keys can be set as 64, 128, or 152 bits in length.
»
Key
: Specify keys as either 5, 13, or 16 alphanumeric characters, or 10,
26, or 32 hexadecimal digits, depending on the selected key length.
5.5.2.3
WPA/WPA2 Security
The WPA and WPA2 modes use IEEE 802.1X as their basic framework for user
authentication and dynamic key management. IEEE 802.1X access security uses
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and requires a configured Remote
Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) authentication server to be
accessible in the enterprise network. If you select WPA or WPA2 mode, be sure to
configure the RADIUS settings displayed on the page.
The WPA-WPA2-Mixed mode is a transitional mode of operation for networks
moving from WPA security to WPA2. WPA-WPA2-Mixed mode allows both WPA
and WPA2 clients to associate to a common Wi-Fi interface.
