Configuration and Management

Which authentication and encryption method that should be used depends on what is supported by the connected wireless client(s).

Note: Each wireless client must be configured to use exactly the same security mode and key/passphrase as the Ericsson W3x or they will not be able to connect.

In the “Authentication” drop-down list you select which type of authentication/encryption you want to use for your WLAN. The following subsections describe the authentication methods supported by the Ericsson W3x.

3.6.8.1Open (No security)

If you select “Open” as authentication method no client configuration is needed but be aware of that the WLAN will now be open without any kind of security. For example, it is now possible for anyone with a computer and a wireless interface card to connect to the Ericsson W3x at any time and having access to both your home network and Internet connection.

3.6.8.2WEP and WEP Encryption Key (Low security)

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is considered to be a low security option. The data is encrypted into blocks of either 64 bits length or 128 bits length.

WEP encrypted data can only be sent and received by users with access to a private encryption key. This means that each client on your wireless network has to be manually configured with exactly the same key as the one entered in the Ericsson W3x in order to allow encrypted data transmissions.

•WEP-64 bit data encryption requires a key including 10 characters. Only hexadecimal numbers 0-9 and letters a-f (uppercase or lowercase) are allowed.

•WEP-128 bit data encryption requires a key including 26 characters. Only hexadecimal numbers 0-9 and letters a-f (uppercase or lowercase) are allowed.

Enter an encryption key in the “Passphrase / Key” field and click Apply to save the settings.

3.6.8.3WPA/WPA2 and Passphrase (High security)

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and its successor WPA2 are the most reliable security options. WPA encryption uses the TKIP (Temporal Key
