Encryption Page
This page is the security configuration of the wireless connection. WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a data privacy mechanism based on a 64/128-bit
shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.1x standard. When the
“Disable” is selected there is no WEP encryption. When either “64bits” or
“128bits” selected there is encrypted date transfer to prevent unauthorized
user to access the wireless network.
n Authentication Type
You may choose between “Open System”, “Shared Key”, “Both”, “802.1x”
and “802.1x – Dynamic WEP”. The Authentication Type default is set to
“Both”.
Open System, in which the sender and the recipient do NOT share a secret
key. Each party generates its own key-pair and asks the receiver to accept
the randomly generated key. Once accepted, this key is used for a short
time only. Then a new key is generated and agreed upon.
Shared Key is both the sender and the recipient share a secret key.
If the “Shared Key” or “Both” option is selected, and then the option “Disable”
of the WEP type will be disabled.
