Setup the same key as the wireless device which the card intends to connect. -- WPA-PSK: It is a special modem of WPA for home users without an enterprise authentication server and provides the same strong encryption protection. -- WPA2-PSK (for WPA2 Personal): This option will be present only if the wireless network adapter and its driver support WPA2. -- WPA 802.1X: 802.1x authentication is required in WPA. In the 802.11 standard, 802.1x authentication was optional. -- WPA2 802.1X: WPA2 is the next-generation Wi-Fi security standard, combining the most powerful authentication and encryption techniques to protect wireless networks from unauthorized use. Based upon the recently-ratified IEEE 802.11i standard, WPA2 adds the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to the original WPA specification to provide the greatest levels of network security available. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) advocate the use of AES security to protect sensitive digital information on government networks. -- WEP 802.1X: Accepts WEP clients and the encryption key is obtained dynamically through 802.1x. [Data Encryption] -- Disabled: Disable the WEP Data Encryption. -- WEP: Enabled the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Key Length & the key Index. -- TKIP: Enable the TKIP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you have to continue setting the Network Key & Confirm network key. -- AES: Enabled the AES Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you have to continue setting the Network Key & Confirm network key. -- Passphrase: Enter a passphrase (password phrase) of up to 63 case-sensitive printable characters. -- Network Key: The keys are used to encryption data transmitted in the wireless network. Fill in the text box by following rules below: Æ 64-bit: Input any 5 ASCII characters or 10 digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f”, and “0-9” range) as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef” Æ 128-bit: Input any 13 ASCII characters or 26 digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f”, and “0-9” range) as the encryption keys. For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef” -- Confirm Network Key: Re-type again the Network key in this text box. -- Key Index (Advanced): The maximum of key index is 4. 17 3.4 Status In the “Status”, you can view the current link status of Wireless LAN adapter. 3.5 Statistics In the “Statistics”, you can get the real time information about the packet transmission and receiving status. 18 3.6 Wi-Fi Protect Setup In the “Wi-Fi Protect Setup”, you can setup the Wi-Fi network more easily and secure. . There are two methods for you: Pin Input Config (PIN) Method & Push Button Config (PBC) Method”. Select one of following methods to setup your AP. The primary goal of Wi-Fi Protected Setup (Wi-Fi Simple Configuration) is to simply the security setup and management of Wi-Fi networks. This Wireless LAN utility as an Enrollee or external Registrar supports the configuration setup using PIN configuration method or PBC configuration setup using PIN configuration method or PBC configuration method through an internal or external Registrar. 19 Pin Input Config (PIN): Start to add to Registrar using PIN configuration method. IF STA Registrar, remember that enter PIN Code read from you Enrollee before starting PIN. Push Button Config (PBC ): Start to add to AP using PBC configuration method. 20
