The WPS Configuration Screen of Wireless Adapter
 WPS progress: Show the current WPS progress.
 Reset to OOB: Reset WPS AP to the OOB(out-of-box) configuration.
 SSID: Wireless network name shared among all points in a wireless network. The SSID
must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not
exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard). Make sure this
setting is the same for all stations in your wireless network. Type the desired SSID in the
space provided.
 Authentication Type: Select an authentication type from the drop-down list, which
allows you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface. Options available
are: Disabled, WEP-64Bits, WEP-128Bits, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK/
WPA2-PSK.
1) WEP- 64Bits
To configure WEP-64Bits settings, select the WEP-64Bits option from the drop-down list. The
menu will change to offer the appropriate settings. WEP-64Bits is a data privacy mechanism
based on a 64-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11g standard.
2) WEP-128Bits
To configure WEP-128Bits settings, select the WEP-128Bits option from the drop-down list.
The menu will change to offer the appropriate settings. 128-bit is stronger than 64-bit.
3) WPA-PSK
To configure WPA-PSK settings, select the WPA-PSK option from the drop-down list. The
menu will change to offer the appropriate settings. WPA-PSK requires a shared key and does
not use a separate server for authentication. PSK keys can be ASCII or Hex type.
 Encryption: Select the encryption you want to use: TKIP/AES, TKIP or AES (AES is an
encryption method stronger than TKIP).
 TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) - a wireless encryption protocol that provides
dynamic encryption keys for each packet transmitted.
