manually enters the starting password in their access point or

gateway, as well as in each wireless stations in the network. WPA

takes over automatically from that point, keeping unauthorized

users that don't have the matching password from joining the

network, while encrypting the data traveling between authorized

devices. The encryption methods are including TKIP and AES.

Note that this option is only available for Windows XP.

WPA2 – This mode complies with the 802.11i standard. Option

available on Windows XP computers only.

Parameter Description

Encryption Mode None – Disable the WEP Data Encryption.

WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is

selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys.

TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the

temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message

transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security

than the standard WEP security.

AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of

security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most

advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the

wireless network.

Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption

method to ensure the communication.

WPA Pre-Shared Key The WPA-PSK key can be from eight to 64 characters and can be

letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the

wireless stations in the network.

WEP Key

(Key1 ~ Key4)

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the

wireless network. There are two types of key length: 64-bit and

128-bit. Select the default encryption key from Key 1 to Key 4 by

selected the radio button.
