NetComm YML-O-3G19W manual Security, Option Description

NETCOMM LIBERTY™ SERIES - 3G WiFi Router

5.2 Security

This Router includes a number of security options that provides you with a secure connection to a 3G network. State-of-the art security includes:

•WEP / WPA / WPA2 data encryption

•SPI Firewall

•VPN Pass-Through

•MAC address IP filtering

•Authentication protocols — PAP / CHAP

You can also authenticate or encrypt your service using the WEP algorithm, which provides protection against unauthorized access such as eavesdropping.

By default, WPA-PSK security is specified for the Network authentication type in use.

The following screen appears when Security is selected. The Security page allows you to configure security features of your Router’s wireless LAN interface. You can set the network authentication method, select data encryption, specify whether a network key is required to authenticate to this wireless network and specify the encryption strength.

Click Save/Apply to configure the wireless security options.

		OPTION	DESCRIPTION
		Select SSID	Your Service Set Identifier (SSID), sets your Wireless Network Name. You can connect multiple devices
			including Laptops, Desktop PCs and PDAs to your Wireless Router. To get additional devices connected,
			scan for a network, and locate the SSID shown on your Wireless Security Card. If the SSID does not match,
			access is denied.
		Network Authentication	This option is used for authentication to the wireless network. Each authentication type has its own settings.
			(For example, selecting 802.1X authentication will reveal the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields.
			WEP Encryption will also be enabled)
		WEP Encryption	This option indicates whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same network key is used for data
			encryption and network authentication. Whilst four network keys can be defined, only one can be used at
			anyone time. Use the network key found in the drop-down list.
		Encryption Strength	This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled. The key strength is proportional to the
			number of binary bits comprising the key. This means that keys with a greater number of bits have a greater
			degree of security and are considerably more difficult to crack.
			Encryption strength can be set to either 64-bit or 128-bit. A 64-bit key is equivalent to 5 ASCII characters or
			10 hexadecimal numbers. A 128-bit key contains 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal numbers.
NOTE:	Each key contains a 24-bit header (an initiation vector) which enables parallel decoding of multiple streams of encrypted data.

Click Apply/Save to save any changes you have made to your Wireless security.

Please note: You will need to reconfigure and reconnect any wirelessly connected devices after changing the security on your wireless network.
