Encryption

The encrytion modes supported by WL-500gP are: WEP (64bits), WEP (128bits),

TKIP, AES, and TKIP+AES.

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, it uses 64bits or 128bits static keys

to encrypt the data for wireless transmission. To setup WEP keys, set WEP

Encryption to WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits, then manually type in four sets

WEP Keys (10 hexadicimal digits for 64-bit key or 26 hexadicimal digits for

128-bit key). You can also let the system generate the keys by entering a

Passphrase.

TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP dynamically generates

unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session.

AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. This solution offers stronger

protection and increases the complexity of wireless encryption.

TKIP+AES is used when both WPA and WPA2 clients co-exist in the wireless

network.
