LEPS for P2P connections
A further gain in security can be attained by additionally using LANCOM
Enhanced Passphrase Security (LEPS) which involves the matching of MAC
address and passphrase.
LEPS can be used to secure single point-to-point (P2P) connections with an
individual passphrase. Even if an access point in a P2P installation is stolen
and the passphrase and MAC address become known, all other WLAN con-
nections secured by LEPS remain secure.
When using LANconfig for the configuration, you enter the passphrases of the
stations approved for the WLAN in the configuration area 'Wireless LAN' on
the 'Stations' tab under the button
Stations
.
Configuration with
WEBconfig or Telnet
The access list for the matching of MAC addresses to the passphrases (LEPS)
can be found under WEBconfig or Telnet under the following paths:

Client mode
To connect individual devices with an Ethernet interface into a wireless LAN,
LANCOM devices with a WLAN module can be switched to "client mode",
whereupon they act as conventional wireless LAN adapters and not as access
points (AP). The use of client mode therefore allows devices fitted with only
an Ethernet interface, such as PCs and printers, to be integrated into a wire-
less LAN.
