Configuration – Security
The range of a wireless network cannot be restricted to an enclosed area. The advan-
tage of a location-independent connection set-up brings with it the risk of unauthorised
persons eavesdropping on your wireless communications. To avoid misuse of your data,
it is especially important to encrypt transmission over your WLAN.
With Gigaset data products, you can adjust the security settings for each configuration
profile to suit your needs. The following encryption methods are available:
u
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK (recommended)
u
WEP, 128-bit or 64-bit
You can perform the security settings under
Security
on the
Configuration
tab.
Activating security options
On the
Configuration
–
Security
tab, the default security mode is
Disabled
. You can
use this to register on all wireless networks that do not use encryption for data transfer.
Please remember:
Successful communication depends on all the connection partners in a WLAN using
the same security settings (type of encryption and the appropriate keys).
