First, it is important to understand a range of terms. The next section will explain the main terms used here:
Authentication:
Authentication is a process in which the identity, e.g. of a person is determined based on a
certain characteristic. This can be done by fi ngerprint, password or any other proof of authorisation.
Encryption:
Encryption is a process in which a plain text is transformed into a coded text via an encryption
process (algorithm). One or more codes can be used for this.
It must also be mentioned that each individual encryption process offers one or more authentication options.
Select the required profi le in profi le management, and click

This device can be used with the following
encryption types:

We recommend that you use WPA/WPA 2 encryption
with password authentication. If the other devices in the
network do not support WPA, select WEP.
