Protect your data
Data sent through a wired or wireless network is transmitted as plain text. Anyone able to break into your network can intercept and read the data. Encryption minimizes this security risk because the data is converted into a nonreadable format.
Your Ovation supports Wired Equivalent Protection (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA
Wired Equivalent Protection (WEP)
This type of encryption is based on the RC4 encryption algorithm. The algorithm is generated based on a key that everyone in the network shares to encode and decode data.
The network card in your computer uses the encryption key to encode data that leaves the computer. When the data arrives at your Ovation, the encryption key is used again to decode the data into its original form.
You can set up your Ovation to provide encryptionotection using opened
You should change the WEP encryption key on a regular basis to maintain the effectiveness of WEP.
Setting up WEP on your Ovation
To set up a WEP encryption code for your network, manually enter a key using the following characters (a number combination between 0 and 9 and letters between a and f). This code is not case sensitive. For example: AA is the same as aa. The encryption code can contain up to 26 characters and may not contain any spaces.
