EtherWave - WMR
6.0 Configuration
Encryption Type
Compression:
Although not encryption per se, applying a
compression algorithm to the input data within the transmitting
EtherWave-WMR does require that the corresponding decryption
algorithm be applied to the output data of the receiving EtherWave-
WMR to make it meaningful.
Compression requires processing time. Depending on the nature of
the data, throughput may be either enhanced or not effected by the
compression process.
WEP 64-bit:
Wired Equivalency Protocol (WEP) encryption adds
some overhead to the data, thereby negatively effecting throughput
to some degree.
The image below shows the associated configuration options:

WEP: Wired Equivalency
Privacy is a security protocol
defined in 802.11b. It is
commonly available for Wi-Fi
networks and was intended to
offer the equivalent security of
a wired network, however, it
has been found to be not as
secure as desired.
Operating at the data link and
physical layers, WEP does
not provide complete end-to-
end security.
