SECTION 3, CONFIGURATION
Field
Description
ESS
Authentication
Extended Service Set (ESS
). Authentication
differs from Encryption in that you are
establishing either an open or secure
verification of communication with an AP. This
setting does not encrypt your transmission.
The options are:
Open
System
The Open System
Authentication method is
used, meaning no encryption
is used
Pre-Shared
Key (PSK)
The Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
authentication method is
used
WPA
Wi-Fi
®
Protected Access
(WPA) authentication
(802.1X) is used with an EAP
type
WPA-PSK
WPA authentication (802.1X)
is used with a pre-shared key
Select the option that best meets your needs.
For home users, WPA-PSK is the best choice
as it provides the strongest security without a
RADIUS server.
The default is Open System.

Field
Description
Encryption Status
Determines the type of security encryption
algorithms for the Key Index. This security
setting encrypts your wireless transmission.
!
None, WEP64, and WEP128 are available
only when Open System or Pre-Shared
KEY (PSK) is selected.
!
TKIP and AES are available only when
WPA or WPA-PSK are selected.
The options are:
None
No security
WEP64
Wired Equivalent Privacy - 64-bit
strength (provides 4 Keys)
WEP128
Wired Equivalent Privacy -
128-bit strength (provides 2
Keys)
TKIP
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
- changes the temporal key often
(provides 1 Key)
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard
(provides 1 Key)
Select the option that best matches your needs.
Motorola recommends using AES (which
requires WPA or WPA-PSK selected) because
it provides the strongest security algorithm.
The default is None.
802.1X mode
Can only be enabled when the ESS
Authorization is set to Open or PSK
and either
WEP64 or WEP128 is selected (see the
Encryption Status field). During the
Authentication process, the server verifies the
identity of the client attempting to connect to
the network. When WPA or WPA-PSK is
selected in the ESS Authentication field
,
this
option is automatically selected.
If not already enabled, select to activate this
feature. When enabled, Dynamic Key
generation occurs. That is, when the client
requests a key, this function dynamically
generates one.
The default is disabled.

SECTION 3, CONFIGURATION
Field
Description
Key Input Method
Unavailable if WPA is selected. The options
are:
!
Pass Phrase
!
Hexadecimal
!
ASCII
If you select either Pass Phrase or
Hexadecimal, in Key Content, the format of the
Key appears in a hexadecimal format.
If you are using other non-Motorola wireless
products and a security algorithm other than
WPA-PSK, you must enter your WEP keys
manually for the non-Motorola wireless
products.
Select the option that best matches your needs.
The default is Pass Phrase.
Pass Phrase
Enter the Pass Phrase to be used for Key
encryption.
Remember this Pass Phrase so
that you can enter the same phrase for the
Motorola client devices on your wireless LAN.
You will use this Pass Phrase when using WPA
security with your client devices. Pass Phrase
must be between 8 and 63 characters.
Key Length
Only available when ESS mode is set to PSK
and the Encryption Status is set to None. The
option selected determines the strength of the
key.
There are two options:
!
128-bit
!
64-bit.
Select the option that best matches your needs.

Field
Description
Key Index
There are up to 4 different Keys (1, 2, 3, or 4)
that can be selected, the amount determined by
what is selected in the ESS Authentication and
Encryption Status fields. You are selecting one
of the Key Content fields below. The Key
selected here must match between the router
and the client. For example, if you select Key 1
here you have to select Key 1 for the client.
Select the option that best matches your needs.
The default is 1.
Key Content
Key 1
Key 2
Key 3
Key 4
There are up to four fields available (Key 1 –
Key 4) that can be filled. The Key Content
format is selected in the Password Input
Format
field.
For the key content, the phrase is
auto-generated by the password entered in the
Pass Phrase field. For non-Motorola clients,
you will use these Keys (and not Pass Phrase)
when using WEP for security.
If you have selected Hexadecimal or ASCII
formatting (in the Key Input Method field
)
, you
can then enter your own Hexadecimal or ASCII
keys. If entering keys manually, this also
depends on whether WEP64 or WEP128 is
selected in the Encryption Status field.
!
For WEP64 keys, 5 case sensitive ASCII
characters are allowed or 10 hexadecimal
characters (using only characters 0-9 and
A-F).
!
For WEP128 keys, 13 case sensitive ASCII
characters are allowed or 26 hexadecimal
characters (using only characters 0-9 and
A-F).
If entering a key manually, don’t leave a key
field blank or enter all 0’s. These are not secure
keys.
