Configuration - sub-tab Security
First, click the Security ON/OFF button to enable or disable wireless security.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) are
implemented in the adapter to prevent unauthorized access to your
wireless network.
The WPA (WiFi Protected Access) implemented in this Wireless USB
Adapter11g uses an alphanumeric password between 8 and 63 characters
long.This password may include symbols and spaces. IMPORTANT:You must
use the same encryption key throughout your network.
NOTE:
When connecting to a Wireless Base Station, the Base Station will
determine what type of key and security are to be used.The settings below
are only needed for Ad-Hoc use of the Wireless USB Adapter.
Authentication Type – Choose Open or Shared depending on the type
of wireless security in the rest of your wireless network.
Key length – For more secure data transmissions, set encryption to the
highest number of bits. E.g. a 128-bit setting gives you a higher level of
security than 64-bit. IMPORTANT: The setting must be the same for all clients
in your wireless network.
Use Passphrase – If Passphrase is selected, security keys for WEP
encryption are generated from your passphrase string. If encryption is set to
128 bit, only Key 1 is generated. If encryption is set to 64 bit, Keys 1-4 are
generated.You must use the same Passphrase and Default Key settings on
all the other stations in your network. Note: A passphrase string can consist
of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. After entering the passphrase, click
Apply.
