PENTAGRAM Cerberus [P 6367]
Security Settings
This interface enables you to configure wireless encryption. This device supports WPA-
Personal, WPA2-Personal, mixed WPA/WPA2-Personal, Mixed WEP, OPEN, and SHARED etc. It is
suggested you encrypt the wireless network to avoid network stealing. Three commonest
encryption methods are introduced here (you need to input password to connect to your
wireless network adapter when you have encrypted the router).
NOTE:
•
To increase security level of a wireless network never use passwords from dictionary or
which are very easy to remember.
•
Using WEP protocol to secure wireless network is not recommended.
•
Protocol 802.11n officially supports only WPA protocol with AES encryption algorithm.
Using another security protocol and/or encryption algorithm may cause network to work
without full speed or performance.
WPA-Personal
WPA is a standard and interoperable WLAN enhanced security solution which greatly
strengthens the existing and future WLAN system data protection and access control
ability. WPA originates from IEEE802.11i standard, and is compatible with it. WPA
guarantees to protect WLAN users’ data and only the authorized network users can have
access to WLAN. The encryption Algorithms it adopts is better than WEP.
WPA Algorithms: You can choose either AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) mode or TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) mode.
Pass Phrase: Please enter the encryption character string. It consists of 8-63 ASCII
characters.
Key Renewal Interval: It refers to the valid period for the key.
