Defining WLAN connection settings

LAN must either allow or prevent the use of TKIP
encryption.
If you selected
802.1x
as the
WLAN security mode
,
define the following in
WLAN security sett.
:
•
WPA mode
— Select
EAP
if you want to use an EAP
module for authentication. If you select
Pre-shared
key
, type the password (also called a master key) in
the field. Note that the same key must be entered in
the wireless LAN access point.
•
EAP plug-in settings
— If you selected
EAP
, you must
also define these settings. See page 7 for more
information.
Note: 802.1x authenticates and
authorizes devices to access a wireless
network, and prevents access if the
authorization process fails.
If you selected
WEP
as the
WLAN security mode
, define
the following in
WLAN security sett.
:
•
WEP key in use
— Select which WEP key is used
(#1-#4).
•
Authentication type
— Select
Open
or
Shared
.
•
WEP key settings
— The remaining settings are
defined here:
WEP encryption
— Select the desired WEP encryption
key length. Supported options are 64 and 128 bits.
The more bits there are in the key, the higher the
level of security. WEP keys consist of a secret key
and a 24-bit initialization vector. For example, some
manufacturers refer to the 104-bit key as a 128-bit
key (104+24). Both keys offer the same level of
encryption and are therefore interoperable.
WEP key format
— Select whether you want to enter
the WEP key data in
Hexadecimal
format or in text
format (
ASCII
). It is important that the same
notation is used both in the access point and the
Nokia E61.
