Defining Security Settings
To define Security settings:
From the main menu of the MWB1305 Management Application, click
Configuration
and
from the Navigation Panel, click
Security Settings
. The Configuration, Security Settings
window appears.
The MWB1305 device can be configured to operate in one of the following security modes:
Unsecured
– Wireless security is disabled, any client can associate to the MWB1305
Access Point and the wireless signal is passed unencrypted.
WEP
– Stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard
and uses RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP provides moderate security to your system
and has been deprecated by WPA2.
WPA2
– Stands for WiFi Protected Access. It is based on the IEEE 802.11i standard and
uses AES encryption algorithm. WPA2 is much more secure then WEP, it provides
better encryption and user authentication which is generally missing in WEP. It is
recommended that you enable WPA2 at all times.
“To be able to use Wireless Protected Setup(WPS) features (See Defining WPS Settings at
page 39), it is required that you enable the WPA2 security mode ”.
Each security mode has its own configuration parameters, and the layout of the
Security
Settings
screen is changed according to the selection of the security mode:
