Parameter Meaning
Wireless encryption Select a type of data encryption for wireless communication from
the following options:
No encryption
Data is transmitted without encryption. Avoid this option since
any communication may be intercepted.
[No encryption] can be selected only when [No authentication] is
selected for wireless authentication.
WEP
WEP is a common encryption method supported by most devices.
It uses an encryption key. WEP can only be selected when [No
authentication] is selected for wireless authentication.
TKIP
TKIP is an encryption method which is more secure than WEP, but
slower. Use an pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless
device. TKIP can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is
selected for wireless authentication.
AES
AES is more secure than TKIP, and faster. Use a pre-shared-key to
communicate with a wireless device.
AES can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected
for wireless authentication.
TKIP/AES mixed mode
TKIP/AES mixed mode allows both TKIP and AES authentication.
TKIP/AES mixed mode can be selected only when WPA/WPA2
mixed mode - PSK is selected for wireless authentication.
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) There are two dierent ways to enter pre-shared keys. Character
keys may contain between 8 and 63 case-sensitive alphanumeric
characters. Hexadecimal keys contain exactly 64 characters. Only 0 -
9 and a - f (not case-sensitive) should be used in hexadecimal keys.
Rekey interval The rekey interval determines how often an encryption key is
updated. Values from 0 to 1440 minutes may be entered.
Setup WEP encryption key There are two dierent ways to enter WEP encryption keys.
Character keys may contain either 5 or 13 case-sensitive
alphanumeric characters. Hexadecimal keys may contain either 10
or 26 digits. Only 0 - 9 and a - f (not case-sensitive) should be used
in hexadecimal keys.
