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.
