Table 6 Station Mode: Security Setting: WEP LABEL Security Setting WEP Encryption Type Select 64 Bits, 128 Bits or 256 Bits to activate WEP encryption and then fill in the related fields. Choices are Auto, Open System and Shared Key. Refer to Section 3. 2. 3. 1. 2 on page 39 for more information. Enter a passphrase of up to 63 case-sensitive printable characters. As you enter the passphrase, the AG-120 automatically generates four different WEP keys and displays one of them in the key field below. Refer to Section 3. 2. 3. 1. 1 on page 39 for more information. At the time of writing, you cannot use passphrase to generate 256-bit WEP keys. Select a default WEP key to use for data encryption.

Enter either 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (for example, 11AA22BB33) for HEX key type. or Enter 5 ASCII characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-z", "A-Z" and "0-9" (for example, MyKey) for ASCII key type. If you select 128 Bits in the WEP field, Enter either 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (for example, 00112233445566778899AABBCC) for HEX key type or Enter 13 ASCII characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-z", "A-Z" and "0-9" (for example, MyKey12345678) for ASCII key type. If you select 256 Bits in the WEP field, Enter either 58 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (for example, 0000111122223333444455556666777788889999AAAABBBBCCCC000011) for HEX key type or Enter 29 ASCII characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-z", "A-Z" and "0-9" (for example, MyKey111122223333444455556678) for ASCII key type. Note: The values for the WEP keys must be set up exactly the same on all wireless devices in the same wireless LAN. ASCII WEP keys are case sensitive.

Table 7 Station Mode: Security Setting: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK LABEL Encryption Type DESCRIPTION The encryption mechanisms used for WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials. Select the encryption type (TKIP or AES) for data encryption. Refer to Section 3. 2. 3. 3 on page 40 for more information. Type a pre-shared key (same as the AP or peer device) of between 8 and 63 casesensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols) or 64 hexadecimal characters. [. . . ] In TCP/IP Gateway Address, type the IP address of the default gateway in Gateway. To manually configure a default metric (the number of transmission hops), clear the Automatic metric check box and type a metric in Metric.
