a data packet will be before splitting and creating a new packet. The setting range is 256-2346.
For example: If you set value as 256, it means the packet will be fragmented into “256” bytes
while transmitting.
Note: If you complete the settings, please click on “Apply” for changes to take effect.

3-2-2 Security Settings
WEP
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the
Access Point Security Settings window offers WEP features, making your data transmission over
air more secure and allows you to specify Encryption Key(s) if you enable encryption for the
Access Point.
Network Authentication
Choose the Network Authentication Type.
Open System: Requires NO authentication, since it allows any device to join a network without
performing any security check. The Authentication Type default is set to “Open System”. We
recommend that you use the default setting.
Shared Key: Requires that the station and the access point use t he same WEP key to authenticate.
This basically means that WEP must be enabled and configured on both the access point and the
client with a same key. All points on your network must use the same authentication type.
Legacy 802.1x: If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Setting Screen.
WPA: If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Setting Screen.
Note: When Operation Mode is setted in Wireless Client or Bridge mode, WPA can’t be
setted.
25
WPA2: If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Setting Screen.
Note: When Operation Mode is setted in Wireless Client or Bridge mode, WPA2 can’t
be setted.
WPA&WPA2: If selected, you must configure the Radius Server Setting Screen.
Note: When Operation Mode is setted in Wireless Client or Bridge mode,
WPA&WPA2 can’t be setted.
WPA-PSK: If selected, you must use TKIP encryption, and enter the WPA Pre-Shared Key.
WPA Pre-Shared Key: In the WAP-PSK field, you may enter 8-63 characters ranging from
“a-z”, “A-Z”, and “0-9”.
WPA2-PSK: If selected, you must use AES encryption, and enter the WPA2 Pre-Shared Key.
WPA2 Pre-Shared Key: In the WAP2-PSK field, you may enter 8-63 characters ranging from
“a-z”, “A-Z”, and “0-9”.
WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK: If selected, you must use AES encryption, and enter the WPA2
Pre-Shared Key.
WPA & WPA2 Pre-Shared Key: In the WAP2-PSK field, you may enter 8-63 characters
ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z”, and “0-9”.
Data Encryption:
Select the desired potion. If enabled (64 bit WEP, 128 bit WEP, 152 bit WEP), the keys must have
the same encryption strength and must be the same with the keys that other wireless stations use.
The TKIP option is automatically activated when either “WPA”, or “WPA-PSK” is enabled. The
AES option is automatically activated either “WPA2”, or “WPS2-PSK” is enabled.
WEP Passphrase:
There are two methods for creating WEP data encryption:
z Using a Passphrase: Type in a passphrase and click “Generate Keys”. Passphrase can be a
mixture of numbers and letters. When entering passphrase, you must not exceed 32
characters. As you type, the wireless access point will use an algorithm to generate 4 keys
automatically. Select one key from the 4 WEP keys.
z Manually:
64 bits WEP: Enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits (between 0-9, a-f and
A-F).
128 bits WEP: Enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits (between 0-9, a-f and
A-F).
152 bits WEP: Enter 16 ASCII characters or 32 hexadecimal digits (between 0-9, a-f and
26
A-F).
Note: The WEP key must be set up exactly the sam e on the Wireless Ac cess Points as they are on
the wireless clients. If you set “0011223344” for the Wireless Access Point, the same WEP key
“0011223344” must be assigned to other client stations.
Authentication Server
Authentication Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the external authentication server
in dotted decimal notation.
Port number: Enter the port number of the external authentication server. The default port
number is 1812.
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so with
additional information.
Shared Secret: Enter a password (up to 63 printable charaters) as the key to be shared between
the external authentication server and the device.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your device.The key is not
sent over the network.
Rekey Options
Reauthentication Time: Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and
passwords in order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 100 and 3600 seconds. If
wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the
RADIUS server has priority.
Global-key Update: This is how often the AP sends a new group key out to all clients. The
re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and
all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis.
Specify an interval either in seconds or thousands of packets that the device sends.
Note: If you complete the settings, please click on “Apply” for changes to take effect.
27
3-2-3 MAC Filter
The MAC Filter allows you to restrict wireless access by MAC Address. This provides an
additional layer of security. To change your device’s MAC filter settings, click MAC Filter, and
select the check box of Active.
Note: Be careful not to list your computer’s MAC address and select Deny the following MAC
address to associate when managing the device via a wireless connection. This would lock you
out.
28
3-3 Management
3-3-1 Password Setup
Here allow you to change the Access Point’s password, do the following:
1. To change the current password, choose the “Change Password” option from the
“Management” section in the Wireless Access Point’s left page. Key in the default password
“password” in the “Current Password” filed.
2. Changing password for the Access Point is as easy as typing the password into the New
Password field. Then, type it again into the Retype New Field to confirm. Click the “Apply”
button to save the setting.
Note: After you change password, please take note of your new password. Otherwise, you will
not able to access the Wireless Access Point setup. If you forget the password, you could restore
the default password “password” by clicking the “Yes” check box in the “Restore Default
