Encryption

The WAB-1000 will display a default factory setting of no encryption, but for security reasons will not communicate to any clients unless the encryption is set by the administrator. You must select the wireless encryption that you want to use, and click Apply. If you want to leave the encryption set to No Encryption, click Apply without selecting any.

A popup dialog box will ask “Are you sure you want to proceed to BYPASS mode?” Click OK to enter BYPASS mode with no encryption setting.

WEP Encryption

If you choose to use WEP encryption, you can also select whether it will be Open or Shared Key authentication. For greater security, set authentication type to “shared key.” WEP Data encryption can be set to 64-bit, 128-bit or 152-bit encryption.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP was originally designed to provide the same level of security for wireless LANs as that of a wired LAN but has come under attack for its defaults and is not now state-of-the-art. WEP relies on the use of identical static keys
