Description

Wireless Security 

 

Check this field to enable WEP wireless 

security.

Authen­tication­ Type  

Authentication algorithm to use when 

the security configuration is set to 

Legacy. When the security configuration 

is set to 802.1x or WPA, the authentica-

tion algorithm is always open. This field 

is enabled when the WEP security field 

is checked. There are three options:  

• Open: In open-system authentication, 

the access point accepts any station 

without verifying its identify. 

• Shared: Shared-key authentication 

requires a shared key (WEP encryp-

tion key) be distributed to the stations 

before attempting authentication. 

• Both: If both is selected, the access 

point will perform shared-key authen-

tication, then open-system authentica-

tion.

En­cryption­ Key  

 

This field is enabled when the WEP 

security field is checked. The key’s value
