the wireless clients associated with it. Both the Access Point and the wireless client must use the same
WEP key for data encryption and decryption.
o Mode: Select Open System or Shared Key.
o WEP Key: Select the WEP Key you wish to use.
o Input Type: ASCII: Regular Text or HEX. Select the key type. Your available options are ASCII
and HEX.
 ASCII Key: You can choose upper and lower case alphanumeric characters and
special symbols such as @ and #.
 HEX Key: You can choose to use digits from 0~9 and letters from A~F. Select the bit-
length of the encryption key to be used in the WEP connection. Your available options
are: 64, 128, and 152-bit password lengths.
o Key Length: Select the desired option and ensure the wireless clients use the same setting.
Your choices are: 64, 128, and 152-bit password lengths.
o Key1/2/3/4: Enter the Key value or values you wish to use.
WPA / WPA2 Enterprise: WPA and WPA2 are Wi-Fi Alliance IEEE 802.11i standards, which include
AES and TKIP mechanisms.
o Type: Select the WPA type to use. Available options are Mixed, WPA and WPA2. Choose
Mixed if your network has a mixture of older clients that only support WPA and TKIP, and
newer client devices that support WPA2 and AES.
o Encryption: Select the WPA encryption type you would like. Your available options are: Both,
TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES(Advanced Encryption Standard).
Note: Since TKIP is not permitted for 802.11n-based transmissions, setting the encryption
algorithm to TKIP when you are using an 802.11n or 802.11ac AP will cause the network to
operate in 802.11g mode.
o RADIUS Server: Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server.
o RADIUS Port: Enter the port number used for connections to the RADIUS server.
o RADIUS Secret: Enter the secret required to connect to the Radius server.
o Update Interval: Specify how often, in seconds, the group key changes. Select 0 to disable.
o RADIUS Accounting: Enables or disables the accounting feature.
o RADIUS Accounting Server: Enter the IP address of the RADIUS accounting server.
o RADIUS Accounting Port: Enter the port number used for connections to the RADIUS
accounting server.
o RADIUS Accounting Secret: Enter the secret required to connect to the RADIUS accounting
server.
o Accounting Group Key Update Interval: Specify how often, in seconds, the accounting data
sends. The range is from 60~600 seconds.
WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK: WPA with PSK (Pre-shared key / Personal mode), designed for home and
small office networks that don't require the complexity of an 802.1X authentication server.
o Type: Select the WPA-PSK type to use. Available options are Mixed, WPA-PSK and WPA2-
PSK. Choose Mixed if your network has a mixture of older clients that only support WPA and
TKIP, and newer client devices that support WPA2 and AES.
o Encryption: Select the WPA encryption type you would like. Your available options are: Both,
TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES(Advanced Encryption Standard).
Note: Since TKIP is not permitted for 802.11n-based transmissions, setting the encryption
algorithm to TKIP when you are using an 802.11n or 802.11ac AP will cause the network to
operate in 802.11g mode.
o WPA Passphrase: Enter the Passphrase you wish to use. If you are using the ASCII format,
the Key must be between 8~64 characters in length.
o Group Key Update Interval: Specify how often, in seconds, the Group Key changes.
