3.1.3 Security Encryption Configurations
Security measures for the CB3000 and its connected network devices is critical regardless of your operating
environment (retail, enterprise etc.). Use the available CB3000 security options to protect the CB3000
managed LAN from wireless vulnerabilities, and safeguard the transmission of RF packets between the
CB3000 and its connected devices.
Available CB3000 security provisions are described further in the following sections:
•
Configuring Open Security Settings
– No security settings applied.
•
Configuring WEP Security Settings
– 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy encryption.
•
Configuring WPA1 (TKIP) Security Settings
– WPA1 dynamic encryption.
•
Configuring WPA2 (CCMP) Security Settings
– WPA2 (CCMP) dynamic encryption.
•
Configuring Secure 802.1x Security Settings
– 802.1x EAP authentication.
3.1.3.1 Configuring Open Security Settings
Though having no security for data transmitted through the CB3000 is not recommended, the option to have
a open, no encryption, non-secure connection security is available among the CB3000 security options.
To set CB3000 security to Open (no data protection):
1. Select
Settings > Wireless Settings > Security
from the CB3000 menu tree. The
Security
screen is
displayed.
2. Select
Open
from the
Security Mode
drop-down menu.
3. Click

to save and apply the setting.
3.1.3.2 Configuring WEP Security Settings
WEP is an encryption security protocol specified in the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard, 802.11b, and
supported by the CB3000. WEP encryption is designed to provide a wireless device with a level of security
and privacy comparable to a wired LAN.
The level of protection provided by WEP encryption is determined by the encryption key length and algorithm.
An encryption key is a string of case-sensitive characters used to encrypt and decrypt data packets
transmitted between a mobile unit and the CB3000; the CB3000 and associated device must use the same
encryption key (typically 1 through 4) to interoperate. For further overview information on WEP, see
.
To configure WEP encryption security settings:
1. Select
Settings > Wireless Settings > Security
from the CB3000 menu tree.
2. Select
WEP
from the
Security Mode
drop-down field.
