Setting data encryption
In the next step you can set the encryption and authentication methods for your wire-
less network.
Wireless networks are even more strongly exposed to the risk of eavesdropping than
wired networks. The Gigaset SE365 WLAN makes use of effective encryption methods
to prevent unauthorised eavesdropping as far as possible.
You can use the following security mechanisms:
u
WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK (see page 39)
u
WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy, see page 40)
We recommend using WPA2-PSK if it is supported by all components in your wireless
network. The use of WPS is not possible when using WEP encryption.
You will find further options for setting data encryption and authentication in the
Advanced Settings
Repeater and Ethernet adapter operating mode
The encryption selected depends on the settings of your access point.
ì
Check what type of encryption and which keys are set at the access point and make
the same settings in the Gigaset SE365 WLAN.
Access point operating mode
The encryption selected depends on which method is supported by all the components
in your wireless network.
ì
Set the appropriate encryption of your data in the Gigaset SE365 WLAN and then in
the other components in your wireless network.
Note:
Encryption is set automatically if you use WPS.
