WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption procedure for radio signals in wireless
networks and meets the IEEE 802.11 standard.
If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support
the higher security standard WPA (see page 63), we recommend that you activate
-
for these network components.
You can choose either the standard 64-bit key or the more robust 128-bit key for encryp-
tion. The keys are generated in hexadecimal or in ASCII format. You must use the same
keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl and all your wireless
network adapters.
