Security

This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included

are WEP, IEEE 802.11x, IEEE 802.11x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key

and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your

wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use

the same security function, and are setup with the same security key.

Disable

When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to operate the

WLR-5000.

SSID Selection

Select the SSID for which you would like to set the security.

Enable 802.1x Auth

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

WEP

When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to

encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can

enter four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then the router

can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys.

Key Length

You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-

bit. The larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the

throughput will be lower.

Key Format

You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or

Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.

Key1 - Key4

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the

wireless network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device.

64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or

5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit

Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters

as the encryption keys.

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.

You can now configure other sections by choosing Continue, or choose Apply

to apply the settings and reboot the device.

WPA Pre-shared Key

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a

pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during

communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key

frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is

the best security available.

WPA-Radius

Wi-Fi Protected Access (

WPA

) is an advanced security standard. You can use

an external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the

session key to encrypt data during communication. It uses

TKIP

or CCMP

(

AES

) to change the encryption key frequently. Press

Apply

button when you

are done.

ACL

This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents

unauthorized clients from accessing your wireless network.

Enable wireless access control

Enables the wireless access control function

Adding an address into the list

Enter the "MAC Address" and "Comment"

of the wireless station to be added and then click "Add". The wireless station

will now be added into the "Current Access Control List" below. If you are

having any difficulties filling in the fields, just click "Clear" and both "MAC

Address" and "Comment" fields will be cleared.

Remove an address from the list

If you want to remove a MAC address

from the "Current Access Control List ", select the MAC address that you want

to remove in the list and then click "Delete Selected". If you want to remove

all the MAC addresses from the list, just click the "Delete All" button. Click

"Reset" will clear your current selections.

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.

You can now configure other sections by choosing Continue, or choose Apply

to apply the settings and reboot the device.

WPS

Page 35 / 69

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to establish a connection

between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select

the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when

you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need to press a button on

both wireless client and wireless router, and WPS will do the rest for you.

The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and

WPS via PIN code. If you want to use the Push Button, you have to push a

specific button on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client to

start the WPS mode, and switch the wireless router to WPS mode. You can

simply push the WPS button of the wireless router, or click the ‘Start to

Process’ button in the web configuration interface. If you want to use the PIN

code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to

WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the web

configuration interface of the wireless router.

WPS

Check the box to enable WPS function and uncheck it to disable the

WPS function.

WPS Current Status

If the wireless security (encryption) function of this

wireless router is properly set, you’ll see a ‘Configured’ message here.

Otherwise, you’ll see ‘UnConfigured’.

Self Pin Code

This is the WPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may need

this information when connecting to other WPS-enabled wireless devices.

SSID

This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router.
