WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

A wireless encryption protocol that scrambles wireless signals allowing for greater security in the wireless network. If WEP/Encryption is required at this site, you must configure each wireless phone to correspond with the encryption protocol set up in the access points. Select the entries from the options below to enable the wireless phone to acquire the system.

Notes

Set each of these options to match exactly the settings in your access points.

Encryption codes display as they are entered. For security reasons, codes will not display when a user returns to the Admin menu, Encryption options.

WEP may be set to “optional” at the access point if there are wireless devices in use that do not have WEP capability. All wireless devices must be upgraded to WEP capability for a fully secured WEP environment.
