WEP WEP allows you to use data encryption to secure your dat a from being eavesdropped by malicious people. It allows 3 types of key: 64 (WEP64), 128 (WEP128), and 152 (WEP152) bits. Y ou can configure up to 4 keys us ing either ASCII or Hexadecimal format.
Rekey interval is time period that the system will change the key periodically . The shorter the interval is, the better the security is. eneral you don’t have to change Port Number , which is After.
Encryption T ype : There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES) . While CCMP provides better security than TKIP , some wirel ess client st ations may not be equipped with the hardware to support it. Y ou can select Both to allow TKIP clients and CCMP clients to connect to the Access Poin t at the same time.
Pre-shared Key : T his is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that both the WH-9200AP and the wir eless client stations use the same key .
WP A2 WPA2 stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. It provides stronger data protection and network access control then WPA. Only authorized users can access the wireless networks.
WP A2-PSK Enter the Pre-shared Key to initiate WPA2 se curity. All devices try to access the network should have the matching encryption key. Pre-shared Key : T his is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that both the WH-9200AP and the wir eless client stations use the same key .
WP A-AUTO Encryption T ype : There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES) . While CCMP provides better security than TKIP , some wir eless client stations may not be equipped with the hardware to support it. Y ou can select Both to allow TKIP clients and CCMP clients to connect to the Access Poin t at the same time.
WP A-PSK-AUTO WPA-PSK-AUTO tries to authenticate wirele ss clients using WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. Pre-shared Key : T his is an ASCII string with 8 to 63 characters. Please make sure that both the WH-9200AP and the wir eless client stations use the same key .
