SpeedTouch™ Web Interface

WMM:

Displays whether WMM is enabled or disabled.

WMM or Wi-Fi MultiMedia enhances QoS at wireless driver level. It provides a mechanism to prioritise wireless data traffic to and from the associated (WMM capable) stations.

Under Security the following fields are available:

Broadcast Network Name:

By default the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its network name, allowing you to easily recognise your wireless network in the list of available networks. Once you have configured your wireless clients, it is recommended to disable this feature by clearing this check box.

Allow New Devices:

Allows you to change the access control used by the SpeedTouch™.

Encryption:

Allows you to select an encryption level for your wireless network. The following encryption methods are supported by the SpeedTouch™:

The Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP)

WPA-Pre Shared Key (WPA-PSK)

The default WEP key and the default WPA key are printed on the

SpeedTouch™ bottom label.

Before configuring the SpeedTouch™ encryption, make sure you ! know which encryption methods are supported by your wireless

client.

Configure On the Configure page, you can change the configuration details displayed on the Details page.

WEP The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm protects wireless communication from eavesdropping.

WEP relies on a secret key that is shared between the wireless client (for example a laptop with a wireless Ethernet card and the SpeedTouch™. The fixed secret key is used to encrypt packets before they are transmitted. Meaning during transmission between client and AP ("in the air") the information in the packets is encrypted.

If your wireless client(s) support(s) WPA-PSK we recommend you to use WPA-PSK, because WEP encryption has been proven to have some security issues.

To enable WEP:

1Select Use WEP Encryption

2In the WEP Key Length list, click the desired Data Security level (either 64-bit or 128-bit and Alphanumeric or Hexadecimal).

3In the Encryption key box, type a Network key of your choice. In case of:

64 bit, Alphanumeric:

The 40-bit Network key must consist of 5 alphanumeric characters.

64 bit, Hexadecimal:

The 40-bit Network key must consist of 10 hexadecimal digits.

128 bit, Alphanumeric:

The 104-bit Network key consists of 13 alphanumeric characters.

128 bit, Hexadecimal:

The 104-bit Network key consists of 26 hexadecimal digits.

4Click Apply to immediately apply your changes.
