Setting up security functions for the wireless network
In the next step you can set up the encryption and authentication methods for your
wireless network.
Wireless networks are even more susceptible to eavesdropping than wired networks.
With conventional network adapters an intruder only needs a device with a WLAN
adapter (e.g. a notebook or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)) with an appropriately
configured network card in order to eavesdrop on every communication made via a
nearby wireless LAN.
The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl makes use of effective encryption methods to prevent
unauthorised eavesdropping as far as possible.
You can use the following security mechanisms:
u
WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK (see page 39)
u
WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy, see page 40)
We recommend that you use WPA2-PSK if it is supported by all components in your wire-
less network.
You will find further options for setting up data encryption and authentication in the
Advanced Settings menu (see page 76).
