2.2.2 Setting the wireless LAN encryption

First, it is important to understand a range of terms. The next section will explain the main terms

used here:

Authentication: Authentication is a process in which the identity, e.g. of a person is determined based on a

certain characteristic. This can be done by ﬁ ngerprint, password or any other proof of authorisation.

Encryption: Encryption is a process in which a plain text is transformed into a coded text via an encryption

process (algorithm). One or more codes can be used for this.

It must also be mentioned that each individual encryption process offers one or more authentication options.

Please switch to the Authentication and Security tab.

This device can be used with the following encryption

types:

64 and 128 bit WEP encryption

WPA and WPA2 encryption

Note!!! Encryption is deactivated by default.

However, for security reasons, we recommend

that you always use encryption.

2.2.2.1 WEP encryption

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a standard encryption algorithm for WLAN. It both controls the access to

the network and guarantees the integrity of the data. This method is considered vulnerable due to a range of

weaknesses.

If you want to use WEP encryption, select WEP under

encryption.

Two options are available for the Authentication type

under WEP.

Select Open if all clients are to be enabled for WLAN.

Now there is virtually no other authentication.

Select Shared if you want to use authentication with the

challenge response process. A shared code is used for

authentication in this method. All WLAN users must know

this code.

All other selection options under Authentication type are

meaningless under WEP.
