Encryption Options
Encryption Description
Open Use the Open option as the default setting when no data packet encryption is needed over the
network. Selecting this option provides no security for the data being transmitted over the
network.
40-Bit WEP Select 40-Bit WEP for the adapter to use the 40-bit key length WEP encryption. WEP keys are
manually entered in the edit boxes. Only the required number of edit boxes for a key length is
displayed (10 Hex digit value for 40-bit keys). Use the
Key Index
drop-down list to configure the
four WEP keys. The adapter uses the selected key. Note: The default Hex digit keys are visible
any time they are used. As a security precaution after setting the key values for the network, the
digits are replaced with asterisks * within the encryption key fields.
If the associated AP is using an optional passkey, the active adapter WLAN profile is required to
use one as well. The passkey is a plain text representation of the WEP keys displayed in the
encryption dialog box. The passkey provides an easy way to enter WEP key data without having
to remember the entire 40-bit (10 character) Hex digit string.
128-Bit WEP Select 128-Bit WEP for the adapter to use the 128-bit key length WEP encryption. WEP keys
are manually entered in the edit boxes. Only the required number of edit boxes for a key length
is displayed (26 Hex digit value for 128-bit keys). Use the
Key Index
drop-down list to configure
the four WEP keys. The adapter uses the selected key. Note: The default Hex digit keys are
visible any time they are used. As a security precaution after setting the key values for the
network, the digits are replaced with asterisks * within the encryption key fields.
If the associated AP is using an optional passkey, the active adapter WLAN profile is required to
use one as well. The passkey is a plain text representation of the WEP keys displayed in the
encryption dialog box. The passkey provides an easy way to enter WEP key data without having
to remember the entire 128-bit (26 character) Hex digit string.
TKIP Select this option to use Wireless Protected Access (WPA) via TKIP. Manually enter the shared
keys in the passkey field. Tap
Next
to display the passkey dialog box. Enter an 8 to 63 character
string.
AES
(Fusion 2.5 only)
Select this option to use Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Manually enter the shared
keys in the passkey field. Tap
Next to display the passkey dialog box. Enter an 8 to 63
character string.
