NXC-8160 User’s Guide

Select WPA-PSK from the Security Mode list.

Transmission 

Keys

The WEP keys are used to secure your data from eavesdropping by unauthorized 

wireless users. Both the NXC-8160 and the wireless clients must use the same 

WEP key for data transmission.
You can configure up to four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one 

time. Select a WEP key to use for data encryption. The default key is key 1. 
To set the WEP keys, select ASCII or HEX as the WEP key input method and enter 

the WEP key in the field provided. Select ASCII option to enter ASCII characters as 

the WEP keys. Select the HEX option to enter hexadecimal characters as the WEP 

keys. 
If you chose WEP64 in the Security Mode field, then enter 5 ASCII characters or 

10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key.
If you chose WEP128 in the Security Mode field, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 

26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key.

RADIUS

The NXC-8160 can use an external RADIUS server to authenticate users.

RADIUS Server 

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal 

notation. 

RADIUS Server 

Port

The default port of the RADIUS server for authentication is 1812. 
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to 

do so with additional information. 

Share Secret

Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared 

between the external authentication server and the NXC-8160. 
The key is not sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external 

authentication server and NXC-8160.
