WLAN->Authentication:
The encryption settings for your private Wireless
LAN.
Encryption
is disabled by default. Choose
Enable
to show the
available settings. There are three types of encryption methods in the
Authentication Type
drop-down menu,
WEP Open System
,
WEP Shared
Key
and
WPA-PSK
.
WEP Open System
encrypts all data that is sent over the wireless network
but does not use any authentication. This means it is still possible for
all clients in range to log onto the 3GN, but without the correct key
they will not be able to communicate with it. To activate this setting,
choose
WEP Open System
from the
Authentication Type
drop-down
menu. Then choose a
Key Type
, either HEX (range 0-9 and A-F) or
ASCII (any character on the keyboard). Choose
Key Size
; 64 bits (for
HEX this is 10 characters and for ASCII 5 characters) or 128 bits (for
HEX this is 26 characters and for ASCII 13 characters): the longer the
key, the stronger the encryption. The key is case sensitive. You have the
possibility to defi ne 4 keys at once so that you can easily change key to
maintain security.
