Security

SSID Selection:

Select the SSID that the security settings will apply to.

Broadcast SSID:

If Disabled, then the device will not be broadcasting the SSID. Therefore it will be invisible to

wireless clients.

WMM:

WiFi Multi-Media is a Quality of Service protocol which prioritizes traffic in the order according

to voice, video, best effort, background.

Note that in certain situations, WMM needs to be enabled to achieve 11n transfer speeds.

Encryption:

The encryption method to be applied.

You can choose from WEP, WPA pre-shared key or WPA RADIUS.



Disabled

- no data encryption is used.



WEP

- data is encrypted using the WEP standard.



WPA-PSK

- data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP,

and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK,

you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.



WPA2-PSK

- This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security,

using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.



WPA-RADIUS

- This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the

client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted

using the WPA standard.

If this option is selected:



This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server.



Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server.



Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when

required.



All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically

generated, so no key input is required.

71

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The

authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt the data during

communication.

802.1x Authentication

RADIUS Server IP

Address:

The IP Address of the RADIUS Server

RADIUS Server port:

The port of the RADIUS Server.

RADIUS Server

password:

The RADIUS Server’s password.

72

WEP Encryption:

WEP Encryption

Authentication

Type:

Please ensure that your wireless clients use the

same authentication type.

Key Length:

Select the desired option, and ensure the wireless

clients use the same setting.



64 Bit

- data is encrypted, using the default key,

before being transmitted. You must enter at

least the default key. For 64 Bit Encryption, the

key size is 10 chars in HEX (0~9 and A~F).



128 Bit

- data is encrypted, using the default

key, before being transmitted. You must enter

at least the default key. For 128 Bit Encryption,

the key size is 26 chars in HEX (0~9 and A~F).

Default Key:

Select the key you wish to be the default.

Transmitted data is ALWAYS encrypted using the

Default Key; the other Keys are for decryption only.

You must enter a

Key Value

for the

Default Key

.

Encryption Key

#:

Enter the key value or values you wish to use. Only

the Key selected as Default is required. The others

are optional.

73

WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption:

WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption

Authentication Type:

Please ensure that your wireless clients use the same authentication type.

WPA type:

Select the WPA encryption you would like.

Please ensure that your wireless clients use the same settings.

Pre-shared Key Type:

Select whether you would like to enter the Key in HEX or Passphrase

format.

Pre-shared Key:

Wireless clients must use the same key to associate the device.

If using passphrase format, the Key must be from 8 to 63 characters in

length.

74

WPA RADIUS Encryption:

WPA RADIUS Encryption

WPA type:

Select the WPA encryption you would like.

Please ensure that your wireless clients use the same settings.

RADIUS Server IP

address:

Enter the IP address of the RADIUS Server

RADIUS Server Port:

Enter the port number used for connections to the RADIUS server.

RADIUS Server

password:

Enter the password required to connect to the RADIUS server.
