WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise and RADIUS, are supported. If
you do not want to use wireless security, select Disable from the drop-down menu.

1. WEP

WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy), a basic
encryption method, usually encrypts wireless data
using a series of digital keys (64 bits or 128 bits in
length). By using the same keys on each of your
wireless network devices, you can prevent
unauthorized wireless devices from monitoring
your transmissions or using your wireless
resources.

SSID Choice:Select SSID to be configured

security.The device supports to configure different
security classes between the main SSID and the
subordinate SSID.

Security Mode: There are several different

security modes; you can choose one from mixed
WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, etc.

Default Key: Select a valid encryption key.
WEP Key:Choose ASCII Characters or

Hexadecimal Digits from the drop-down menu.

Key 1-4:Enter the WEP key here. Please note that

the key should be in accordance with the key

21

OvisLink Evo-w300ar

format and be valid.

2. WPA-Personal

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), a Wi-Fi standard,
is a more recent wireless encryption scheme,
designed to improve the security features of
WEP. It applies more powerful encryption types
(such as TKIP [Temporal Key Integrity Protocol]
or AES [Advanced Encryption Standard]) and can
change the keys dynamically on every authorized
wireless device.

WPA Algorithms: Select one encryption type,

AES or TKIP. (AES is stronger than TKIP.)

Pass Phrase: Enter the key which must have

8-63 ASCII characters.

Key Renewal Interval: Enter the key renewal

period. It is to tell the Router how often to change
the keys.

22

OvisLink Evo-w300ar

3. WPA2-Personal

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2), It's
more secure than Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) and easy to set up.

WPA Algorithms: Select key Algorithms such as

TKIP, AES and TKIP&AES.

Pass Phrase: Enter the key which must have

8-63 ASCII characters.

Key Renewal Interval: Enter the key renewal

period. It is to tell the Router how often to change
the keys.

4. WPA-Enterprise

This Authentication protocol based on RADIUS
server. This security mode is used when a
RADIUS server is connected to the Router.

Radius IP Address: Please input IP address of

the radius server here.

Radius Port: Please input the port number of the

radius server here.

Shared key:The encryption key that the router is

authenticated through RADIUS server

Session Timeout: The recertification time interval

between the router and the server. The default
value is 3600s.

23

OvisLink Evo-w300ar

5. WPA2-Enterprise

This security mode is also used when a RADIUS
server is connected to the Router.

WPA Algorithms: Select key Algorithms such as

TKIP and AES.

Radius IP Address: Please input IP address of

the radius server here.

Radius Port: Please input the port number of the

radius server here.

Shared key:The encryption key that the router is

authenticated through RADIUS server

Session Timeout: The recertification time interval

between the router and the server. The default
value is 3600s.

6. 802.1X

24

OvisLink Evo-w300ar

This security mode is used when a RADIUS
server is connected to the Router. 802.1x, a kind
of Port-based authentication protocol, is an
authentication type and strategy for users. The
port can be either a physic port or logic port
(such as VLAN). For wireless LAN users, a port
is just a channel. The final purpose of 802.11x
authentication is to check if the port can be used.
If the port is authenticated successfully, you can
open this port which allows all the messages to
pass. If the port isn’t authenticated successfully,
you can keep this port “disable” which just allows

802.1x authentication protocol message to pass.

WEP: Select “enable/disable” WEP encryption

which indicates the authentication process
between wireless adapter and wireless router.

Radius IP Address: Please input IP address of

the radius server here.

Radius Port: Please input the port number of the

radius server here.

Shared key:The encryption key that the router is

authenticated through RADIUS server

25

OvisLink Evo-w300ar

Session Timeout: The recertification time interval

between the router and the server. The default
value is 3600s.

NOTE: To improve security level, do not

use those words which can be
found in a dictionary or too easy to
remember! Wireless clients will
remember the WEP key, so you only
have to input the WEP key on
wireless client once, and it’s worth
to use complicated WEP key to
improve security level.

26

OvisLink Evo-w300ar

WPS Settings

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest
way to build connection between wireless
network clients and this wireless router. You
don’t have to select encryption mode and input
a long encryption pass phrase every time when
you need to setup a wireless client, you only
have to press a button on wireless client and
this wireless router, and the WPS will do the
rest for you.

This wireless router supports two types of

WPS: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and

PIN code.

PBC: Push-Button Configuration, You can push

WPS button of this wireless router, or select
‘PBC’ here to start WPS mode.

PIN: This is the WPS PIN code of this wireless

router. This code is useful when you need to
build wireless connection by WPS with other
WPS-enabled wireless devices.

27

WDS Settings

OvisLink Evo-w300ar

In this mode, you can expand the scope of
network by combining up to four other access
points together, and every access point can still
accept wireless clients.

Lazy Mode: You need configure the router’s

BSSID into another device, not need input
another router’s BSSID in it, and then connect
together automatically.

Bridge Mode: You can wirelessly connect two or

more wired networks via this mode. In this mode,
you need to add the Wireless MAC address of
the connecting device into the Router's AP MAC
address table or select one from the scanning
table. At the same time, the connecting device
should be in Lazy, Repeater or Bridge mode.

Repeater Mode: You can select the mode to

extend the distance between the two WLAN
devices. Functioning as a WDS repeater, the
EVO-W300AR connects to both a client card as
an AP and to another AP. In typical repeater
applications, APs connecting to other APs
equipped with WDS functionality must also
support WDS. In this mode, you need to add the
MAC address of the connecting device into the

28

OvisLink Evo-w300ar

Router's AP MAC address table and the
connecting client should be in Lazy, Repeater or
client mode.

Encrypt Type: You can select WEP mode, TKIP

mode, AES mode for security here.

Pass phrase: Enter the key, the key format

according to encryption you selected.

AP MAC: Input the MAC address of another

wireless router.
