1.3.3 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 64/128-bit data encryption
For data privacy, Compex iWavePort WLU11A uses a 64-bit or 128-bit private
encryption key – WEP to lock your information which are transmitted over the air.
Only wireless clients configured with the same WEP key will have access to the data.

1.4.2 Networking scenarios for WLU11A
WLU11A can be configured for 2 types of wireless architectures – Infrastructure and
Ad-Hoc. In the Infrastructure architecture, all the wireless clients communicate
through the access point, which is a device that acts as a base station for all wireless
communication. It is the single point of all wireless communication. The data packets
from the wireless clients will be transferred to the access point before transmitting to
other hosts on the network.
In an Ad-Hoc architecture, the wireless clients communicate directly with one another.
There is no single point of communication. No access point exists on the wireless
LAN. Each wireless client transfers their data packets to the other.
