WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent unauthorized
wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network.
Select
Disable
to allow wireless clients to communicate with the access points
without any data encryption.
Select
64-bit WEP
or
128-bit WEP
to enable data encryption.
Although WEP is functional at 5.5 and 11 Mbps, there is significant performance
degradation when using WEP at these rates.
Disable
Key 1 to
Key 4
If you chose
64-bit WEP
in the
WEP Encryption
field, then enter any 5
characters (ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by
0x for each key.
If you chose
128-bit WEP
in the
WEP Encryption
field, then enter 13 characters
(ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for
each key.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by
unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the
same on the access points as they are on the wireless client computers.
5.5 Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication
You can set the ZyWALL and your network to authenticate a wireless client before the wireless
client can communicate with the ZyWALL and the wired network to which the ZyWALL is
connected. Your ZyWALL supports the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
802.1x standard that works with IEEE 802.11 to enhance user authentication.
To change your ZyWALL’s Authentication settings, click
WIRELESS LAN
, then the
802.1X
tab.
The screen appears as shown.
