You MUST select the option to match the Wireless LAN you

wish to join. The available options are:

be used only with no encryption or with WEP.

• Shared - Broadcast signals are encrypted using WEP. This

method can only be used with WEP.

• LEAP - Light Extensible Authentication Protocol is a pre-

EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol. If selected, you have to en-

ter the identity, password and domain name of your

computer.

• WPA - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on

your LAN to provide the client authentication according to

the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using

the WPA standard.

• WPA-PSK - PSK means "Pre-shared Key". You must enter

this Passphrase value; it is used for both authentication and

encryption.

• WPA2 - This version of WPA2 requires a Radius Server on

your LAN to provide the client authentication according to

the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using

the WPA2 standard.

• WPA2-PSK - This is a further development of WPA-PSK,

and offers even greater security. You must enter this Pass-

phrase value; it is used for both authentication and

encryption.

• WPA None - If selected, you can only set encryption and

WPA-Preshared Key settings.
