No Encryption (non-FIPS)
In order to the 3e–525A–3 with no encryption, you must actively
select
None
and click
Apply
. A screen will appear, asking if you really
want to operate in Bypass mode. If you answer
Yes
, no encryption will be
applied.
Static WEP Encryption (non-FIPS)
If you choose to use WEP encryption, you can also select whether it
will be Open System or Shared Key authentication. For greater security,
set au then ti ca tion type to “shared key.” WEP Data en cryp tion can be set
to 64-bit or 128-bit en cryp tion.
The Key Generator button automatically generates a randomized key
of the appropriate length. This key is initially shown in plain text so the
user has the opportunity to copy the key. Once the key is applied, the key
is no longer displayed in plain text.
WEP (

rivacy) Encryption is a security protocol for
wireless local area networks (WLANs) defi ned in the IEEE 802.11 stan-
dard. WEP was originally designed to provide the same level of security
for wireless LANs as that of a wired LAN but has come under attack for
its defaults and is not now state of the art. WEP relies on the use of identi-
cal static keys deployed on client stations and access points. But the use of
WEP encryption provides some measure of security.
