Parameter Description

Network Authentication Open –No authentication is needed among the wireless network.

Shared – Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP Key

identified) are allowed to connecting each other.

WPA – This mode is for enterprise with an authentication server

(Radius Server), WPA-enabled access point, and a WPA-enabled

client. Once WPA is enabled, all clients and access points on the

network must be WPA-enabled in order to access the network.

WPA-PSK – It is a special mode designed for home and small

business users who do not have access to network authentication

servers. In this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the user

manually enters the starting password in their access point or

gateway, as well as in each PC on the wireless 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.

Parameter Description

Data Encryption WEP – In WPA or WPA-PSK mode, WEP is also able to be the

encryption method for the transmission data.

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.
