WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP provides static security to prevent others from accidentally accessing your network. If
you choose this option, you can specify the type of WEP authentication – Open or Shared,
the WEP security key length – 64 bit or 128 bit and the key type – ASCII or Hex. WEP Key
fields are also provided where you can specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an
equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active WEP key on the
access point.
WPA & WPA2 Personal PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
When PSK is selected, either WPA Personal PSK or WPA2 Personal PSK – a shared key
must be configured on both the access point and the hand-held computer. One of the follow-
ing can be chosen from the Encryption dropdown menu: TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES.
802.1X, WAP & WAP2 Enterprise And CCKM
These authentication modes use 802.1X and with EAP authentication. When 802.1X is se-
lected, NEO uses WEP encryption with automatic (as opposed to static) keying. For the
others, the user may choose TKIP, AES or TKIP+AES encryption.
2.4.2.2 EAP
This menu allows you to choose the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) type used for
802.1x authentication to an access point.
The following EAP types are supported by Wi-Fi Config:
• TLS: Provides strong security via the use of client certificates for user authentication.
