2.4 AUTHENTICATION AND SECURITY 
The Security tab allows you to configure the authentication and encryption settings such as: 
WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK. Each security option is described in detail below.  
 
2.4.1 WEP Encryption 
The WEP tab displays the WEP settings. Encryption is designed to make the data 
transmission more secure. You may select 64 or 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) 
key to encrypt data (Default setting is Disable). WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from 
the radio using one of the Keys from a panel. When you use WEP to communicate with the 
other wireless clients, all the wireless devices in this network must have the same 
encryption key or pass phrase.  The following information is included in this tab, as the 
image depicts below.
