Open-System: When chosen, the Key is not used for authentication. It is only used for 
encryption. Open-System uses Static Keys for encryption. Static (Shared) Keys are never 
changed, and a hacker can crack the key after a period of time. 
Shared-Key: When chosen, the encryption Key is also used for authentication between the 
Router and Client. Note that this system is also using Static Keys. 
Key Entry Method: Choose HEX if you want to enter the Keys in hexadecimal format. Otherwise, 
enter in ASCII format. ASCII is also called Alphanumeric in some systems. Use the same key 
format for the Router and Client! 
Key 1-4: The Key is to be entered in the boxes. The SAME Key must be entered in both the 
Router and Client. Take note that there is a different Key length for a different number of 
encryption bits. 152 bits is the most secure, but make sure that your Client card supports it. The 
last point to take note is that if you use Key 4 on the Router, you must also use Key 4 on the 
Client, for example. The same logic applies for Keys 1-3. 
 

WPA-PSK is also known as WPA-Preset-Key. This implementation is more secure than WEP as 
the encryption is automatically changed periodically. To configure this feature, just key in a 8-63 
ASCII character or 64 HEX character pass-phrase for both the Router and Cards.  
Cipher: You can choose to use TKIP or AES for the cipher type.
