Freecom Storage Gateway (FSG)

enable WEP encryption

The Wired Equivalent Privacy, or WEP encryption for short,

 

enables you to protect your

FSG connection against

 

unintended access. The WEP key has to be either 10 or 26

 

characters in length and use the hexadecimal format.

 

Characters permitted: 0123456789ABCDEF. Please write

 

down the code you have entered. This needs to be en-

 

tered on all of the devices that access your FSG. An exam-

 

ple of a 10-character code: FF37AC99B1

 

Do not use the code provided above.

 

You should only use WEP if your terminal device does not

 

support WPA encryption as the

WEP standard is out-of-

 

date and not secure.

 

enable WPA encryption

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encrypted connection

 

type that protects your network against unintended ac-

 

cess. If you intend to use WAP, you will need to create an

 

authorization key used by the devices to log on to your

 

FSG. Please make a note of the key.

 

We highly recommend using WAP encryption.

WPA-PSK key

You need to enter an authorization key in this window if

 

the 'WAP encryption' option is enabled. This is used by the

 

devices to log on to your FSG via WLAN. PSF, short for

 

PreShared Key, is a WEP protocol extension. The key should

 

contain no less than 8 and no more than 63 characters.
