-Op
en System: Authentication is not used, and Encryption
may or may not be used, depending on the need for data
security. Enter the WEP Key using number keypad after

-Shar
edKey: Authentication is used. A device that has a proper
WEP Key can access the network. Enter the WEP Key using
number keypad after selecting SharedKey.
•In case of WPA, Ent
er the WPA Key using number keypad. The
Key length should be between 8 to 63 characters long.
5.Press OK.
6.Press Stop
/Clear to return to ready mode.
•SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a
wireless network. Access points and wireless devices
attempting to connect to a specific wireless network must use
the same SSID. The SSID is case-sensitive.
•WEP : WEP (Wire
d Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol
preventing unauthorized access to your wireless network.
WEP encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on a
wireless network using a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption key.
•WPA :
WPA authorizes and identifies users based on a secret
key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA also
uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) for data encryption.
Custom mode
1.Enter the SSID when Edit SSID appears on the top line of the display,

Open system is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.
•Static W
EP: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
algorithm suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static
WEP security mode requires a proper WEP key for data
encryption, decryption, and IEEE 802.11 authentication. Press
the left/right arrow to select the setup method you want in
Authentication and press OK.
