DESCRIPTION
Wireless Security Setup
Select SSID
Select the desired Service Set Identity (SSID).
Encryption
Choose the encryption security type, WEP. The other
encryption security options are: WPA, WPA2, WPA-Mixed, and
Disable. The default is Disable.
Authentication
Select Open System, Shared Key, or Auto authentication.
Auto is the default. This specifies whether the wireless clients
have to provide the WEP key to login to the wireless client. Most
users keep this setting at Auto or Open System unless they
want to force a key verification before communication between
the wireless client and the FSG1100HN occurs. Selecting
Shared Key forces clients to provide the WEP key prior to
communication.
Key Length
Select the level of encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit.
Key Format
Select ASCII (5 characters) or Hex (10 characters). American
Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is a system
using alphanumeric characters. ASCII strings are automatically
converted to hexadecimal format for use over a network. Hex
uses the actual hexadecimal format based on the numbers 0 to
9 and the letters A to F.
Encryption
Key 1
to 4
Keys are used to encrypt data. Both the FSG1100HN and the
wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data
transmission. If you chose 64-bit, then enter any five ASCII
characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). If you
chose 128-bit, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). At least one key must be
configured and up to four keys overall can be configured.
However, only one key can be activated at any
single time. The default key is Encryption Key 1.
