4.2.1 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. Authentication is implemented using the shared key method.
If you use WEP encryption, select Pre-Shared key (static WEP).
Click Confi gure.
The entries you make here must be exactly the same as the
encryption data in the target network, i.e. in the wireless
LAN router/access point in infrastructure mode and as all
client WLAN devices in ad-hoc mode.
In the upper area of the window you can set the characters
which can be used for the code. Hexadecimal allows
characters from 0-9 and a-f. ASCII allows any characters
except spaces to be used. The setting and the selection of
either 64, 128 and 152 bit encryption determines the length
of the code to be entered.
WEP 64 bit ASCII requires 5 characters
WEP 64 bit HEX requires 10 characters
WEP 128 bit ASCII requires 13 characters
WEP 128 bit HEX requires 26 characters
WEP 152 bit ASCII requires 16 characters
WEP 152 bit HEX requires 32 characters
In the lower area, you can save 4 codes of which only one is used. This allows you to change the code
regularly if the other wireless LAN devices also support this. You can also enter just one code and use it all
the time.
The code selected under Transmit code is always transferred.
Sample codes:
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 OK to save your settings.

4.2.2 WPA/WPA2 encryption

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture,
but offers additional protection via dynamic codes, which are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP), and also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) or extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for user authen-
tication. However, a radius server is required for this. WPA2 is a development of WPA and uses a different
encryption algorithm, advanced encryption standard (AES).
Authentication via pre-shared key
Select WPA/WPA2 Passphrase and then click Confi gure.
Enter the code in the required format.
ASCII = at least 8 and no more than 63 random characters. Letters (A-Z), numbers and punctuation marks
are allowed or
Hex = For a code with a length of 64 characters, whereby only characters from 0-9 and a-f can be used.
Click OK to confi rm your entries. In the Profi le management tab, you can now select your profi le and Activate
it by clicking the button.
- Authentication via special authentication protocols and certifi cates
You can also authenticate yourself via special authentication protocols, which however require an
authentication server. Select either WPA/WPA2 or 802.1x.
The authentication protocols available here are variations of EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
which require an authentication server (RADIUS server) or certifi cates. Your administrator can give you
the information you require to confi gure this authentication method.
The confi guration process is now complete. Switch to the Current status tab again.
The signal strength and corresponding information on
your confi guration should now be displayed here. You
can now close the confi guration tool The activated
profi le is run automatically after a restart.
