MTU：MTU means Maximum Transmission Unit, the largest physical packet size,
measured in bytes, that a network can transmit. The default value is 1454. Please set up the
MTU according to your system environment. Only enter a new MTU when your ISP requires,
otherwise, please leave it as the default setting. When using PPPoE connection, you may
need to change MTU settings to maintain the connection with your ISP, however, if the
incorrect value was entered, you may be unable to access certain websites. Reducing the
packet size can help connecting to certain websites or speeding up the transmission rate.
Dial-On-Demand/Silent Timeout：You may disconnect the connection when there is no
activity for a period of time and set the Silent Timeout in the next field. Silent Timeout means
a period of idle time before you go offline. Enter a maximum period of time (minute) to
define the maximum idle time. If the silent time is above the defined maximum idle time, it
will go offline immediately. You can set the value to be 0 or Auto Reconnect to disable this
function.

and compared to a table of name-password pairs. Typically, the passwords stored in the
table are encrypted. The Basic Authentication feature built into the HTTP protocol uses
PAP. The main weakness of PAP is that both the username and password are
transmitted "in the clear" -- that is, in an unencrypted form.
CHAP –Short for Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol, a type of
authentication in which the authentication agent (typically a network server) sends the
client program a random value that is used only once and an ID value. Both the sender
and peer share a predefined secret.

3.2. Security
In this page, you can configure the security of your wireless network. Selecting different method
can make different levels of security. However, no matter what kind of authentication or encryption
you use to prevent data packets from being eavesdropped by people without authentication, it may
cause decrease of the data throughput of the wireless connection.
Authentication and Encryption
There are several kinds of authentication of MZK-W04NU wireless Router. After selecting the
authentication mode, it has to cooperate with the encryption type. The settings of authentication
on the destination network must be the same with MZK-W04NU.
Open System –If enabling this mode, there is no need authentication to access AP or wireless NIC.
Pre-Shared Key
–
Only those who are sharing the same key with the AP can connect with it.
WEP –WEP is short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol for WLANs defined in the
802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN.
WEP aims to provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it
transmitted from one end point to another. There are two kinds of WEP encryption: 64 bit and 128
bit. 64 bit needs 10 hex characters to be the key and 128 bit needs 26 hex characters.
WPA – is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access. It was designed to improve upon the security features
of WEP. The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled
with WEP. Through the data encryption, access control and authentication, it provides better
protection over data transmission. WPA uses 128-digit keys to ensure the wireless network privacy
and security.
WPA2 – is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. It is the follow on security method to WPA for
wireless networks that provides stronger data protection and network access control. It provides
enterprise and consumer Wi-Fi users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can
access their wireless networks. There are two versions of WPA2: WPA2-Personal, and WPA2-
Enterprise. WPA2-Personal protects unauthorized network access by utilizing a set-up password.
WPA2-Enterprise verifies network users through a server. WPA2 is backward compatible with WPA.
WPA-PSK – is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key. WPA-PSK uses the same
encryption way with WPA, and the only difference between them is that WPA-PSK recreates a
simple shared key, instead of using the user’s certification.
TKIP – is short for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing
algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been
tampered with.
AES – is short for Advanced Encryption Standard. AES is a symmetric 128-bit block data
encryption technique. It has a fixed block size of 128-bits and a key size of 128, 192, or 256-bits.
Pass Phrase – Pass Phrase also named Shared Secret which is used only when enabling WPA-PSK
57
authentication. A passphrase is a string of characters longer than the usual password (which is
typically from four to 16 characters long) that is used in creating a digital signature (an encoded
signature that proves to someone that it was really you who sent a message) or in an encryption or
a decryption of a message. It is applicable only when you select WPA-PSK authentication. You will
need to enter an 8~63 characters password to start the encryption process, which will generate
four WEP keys automatically.
RADIUS – is short for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, an authentication and
accounting system used by many Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
.
RADIUS setup is used to set up
additional parameters for authorizing wireless clients through RADIUS server. The RADIUS setup is
required when you select to use Open System with 802.1x or WPA authentication.

58
Authentication：There are several kinds of authentication types：Open System, Shared
Key, WPA, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2.
Encryption：There are five types of encryption settings, please set the key depending on
the real environment. According to the type and length, there are four Key types:
64-bit – Enter 10-digit Hex values or 5-digit ASCII values as the encryption keys. For
example: “0123456aef” or “Guest.”
128-bit – Enter 26-digit Hex values or 13-digit ASCII values as the encryption keys.
For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef” or “administrator.”
TKIP – It is short for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP scrambles the key
using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that
the keys haven’t been tampered with.
AES – Short for Advanced Encryption Standard, a symmetric 128-bit block data
encryption technique. It works at multiple network layers simultaneously and has a
fixed block size of 128-bits and a key size of 128, 192, or 256-bits.
TKIP/AES – A mix use of both TKIP and AES encryption.
Pass Phrase：It’s also named Shared Secret which is used only when enabling WPA-PSK
authentication. A passphrase is a string of characters longer than the usual password
(which is typically from four to 16 characters long) that is used in creating a digital
signature (an encoded signature that proves to someone that it was really you who sent a
message) or in an encryption or a decryption of a message. It is applicable only when you
select WPA-PSK authentication. You will need to enter an 8~63 characters password to
start the encryption process, which will generate four WEP keys automatically.
Default Key：You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as default key. Then the
router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys. Only the key you select
it in the "Default key" will take effect.
WEP Key 1~4：The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless
59
network. Fill the text box by following the rules below. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex
values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption
keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or
13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
