3.2 Setting the wireless LAN encryption

Note!!! Encryption is deactivated by default. However, for security reasons, we recommend that you always
use encryption.
First, it is important to understand a range of terms. The next section will explain the main terms used here:
Authentication: Authentication is a process in which the identity, e.g. of a person is determined based on a
certain characteristic. This can be done by fingerprint, password or any other proof of authorisation.
Encryption: Encryption is a process in which a plain text is transformed into a coded text via an encryption
process (algorithm). One or more codes can be used for this.
It must also be mentioned that each individual encryption process offers one or more authentication options.
Select the required profile in profile management, and click Change. Now switch to the Security tab.
This device can be used with the following
encryption types:
64, 128 and 152 bit WEP encryption
WPA and WPA2 encryption
We recommend that you use WPA/WPA 2 encryption
with password authentication. If the other devices in the
network do not support WPA, select WEP.
