Data Tank Gateway Functions
Options
Description
WPA-PSK key
You need to enter an authorization key in this window if
the ‚WAP encryption‘ option is enabled. This is used by the
devices to log on to your Data Tank Gateway via WLAN.
PSK, short for PreShared Key, is a WEP protocol extension.
The key should contain no less than 8 and no more than
63 characters.
WEB
You should only use WEP if your terminal device does not
support WPA encryption as the WEP standard is out-of-date
and not secure
no encryption
An encryption does not occur, access onto the WLAN net-
work is unrestricted. Avoid this mode when possible!
Chanel
Select the channel that should be used for the WLAN
connection.
.4. Wireless ACL
Wireless ACL enables you to filter devices attempting to access your WLANs based on their
MAC address. This method of access filtering is not secure and should only be used in com-
bination with WPA as many devices allow the user to manually change the MAC address.
