the
option

WPA encryption
This option is only available in Access point mode.
WPA increases security in a wireless network by using a new procedure for assigning
keys (TKIP, Temporal Key Integration Protocol). It generates the access code from a com-
bination of the MAC address and a freely assignable key. WPA also supports the use of
a RADIUS server.
ì
In the
Security
menu, select
WPA
.
ì
WPA encryption is activated when the
WPA
option has been set to
On
.
ì
In
Authentication type
select the option
Pre-shared key
, if you do not have a
RADIUS server. In
Pre-shared key type
specify whether a
Passphrase
of 8-63 char-
acters is to be used to generate the key or a hexadecimal value of 64 digits.
ì
Then enter a key of your choice in
Pre-shared key
.
Please remember:
If the PC you are using to configure the Gigaset WLAN Repeater has a wireless con-
nection, make sure you enter it in the MAC filter table before activating the MAC
address filter. Otherwise you will no longer have any access to configuration pro-
gram. If you have accidentally denied access to the Gigaset WLAN Repeater for all PCs,
you will have to connect the PC you are using for configuration to the Gigaset WLAN
Repeater with a LAN cable so that you can permit wireless access again.
