WEP 
Key Type
KEYS 
Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP) is a wireless security protocol 
for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). WEP provides security 
by encrypting the data that is sent over the WLAN. The DI-614+ 
supports  3  levels  of WEP  Encryption:  64Bit  encryption,  128Bit 
encryption, and 256Bit encryption. WEP is disabled by default. The 
WEP setting can be changed to fit an existing wireless network 
or to customize your wireless network.
Keys 1-4 allow you to easily change wireless encryption settings 
to maintain a secure network. Simply select the specific key to be 
used for encrypting wireless data on the network.
The  Key  Types  that  are  suppor ted  by  the  DI-614+  are  HEX 
( H ex a d e c i m a l )   a n d   A S C I I   ( A m e r i c a n   S t a n d a r d   C o d e   fo r 
Information  Interchange.)  The  Key  Type  can  be  changed  to 
fit  an  existing  wireless  network  or  to  customize  your  wireless 
network.
Using the Configuration Menu

Open System
Shared Key In this mode, in order to access the DI-614+ on the network, the 
device must be listed in the MAC Address Control List.
The DI-614+ will be visible to all devices on the network. This is 
the default setting.

Using the Configuration Menu
Home > Wireless > WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and authenticates users onto the wireless network. 
WPA uses stronger security than WEP and is based on a key that changes automatically 
at a regular interval. This mode requires a RADIUS server in the network.
Radius Server 1 IP - Enter the IP Address of the RADIUS server. 
Port - Enter the port number that your RADIUS server uses for 
Authentication. The  default  setting  of  1812  is  the  port  setting 
for many RADIUS servers.
Shared Secret - Enter the Shared Secret. The Shared Secret must 
be the same as the Shared Secret on your RADIUS server. 
Radius Server 2
 
Optional. If you have a second RADIUS server, you will 
input the same information as shown above.

Using the Configuration Menu
Home > Wireless > WPA-PSK
Confirmed PassphraseEnter the Passphrase again to confirm.
Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key mode means that the wireless client and the 
router must have the same passphrase in order to establish the wireless connection. A 
RADIUS server is not required with PSK.
Passphrase Enter a passphrase for the router. The RADIUS server should 
use the same passphrase (secret key) as the router.
