Wep Encryption - Hama 00062735 Bedienungsanleitung

Encryption: Encryption is a process in which 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.
The following encryption types are available for the various modes:
• 64 Bit and 128 Bit WEP encryption
• WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) encryption
Click the Set Security button to make the settings for the Bridge-Point to Point, Bridge-Point to
Multi-Point and Bridge WDS modes after setting the mode.
For the Bridge WDS mode, encryption must be set for the access point under Wireless/Security Settings
in the menu on the left. This is the only encryption available for WDS.
You can choose either WEP encryption with 64 Bit and 128 Bit, WPA with TKIP encryption algorithm and
WPA2 with AES encryption algorithm.

3.2.3.1 WEP Encryption

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a standard encryption algorithm for WLAN. It both controls the access to
the network and guarantees the integrity of the data. This method is considered vulnerable due to a range of
weaknesses.
First select whether you want to use
64 bit or 128 bit encryption. 128 bit
encryption offers greater security.
Then select either Hex (characters
from 0-9 and a-f) or ASCII (any
character) for the Key Format. This
also determines the length of the
key.
Default Tx Key allows you to select
one of four preset keys. Select Key 1,
for example, and enter your key of
choice with the required length.
Examples: 64 bit Hex (10 characters) = 231074a6ef
64 bit ASCII (5 characters) = j31n.
128 bit Hex (26 characters) = 231074a6b9773ce43f91a5bef3
128 bit ASCII (13 characters) = urlaub2006.+0
Click Apply to save your settings. You must then restart the router for the settings to take effect. To do so, click
Apply in the next window. The wireless network with encryption is available after you restart.
