Setting the Encryption, Ssid visible | Siemens SE505 instruction

Configuring security measures

◆SSID visible

If you have selected this option the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable will send the SSID in all data transmissions. In this case eavesdroppers could use the SSID to gain access to your network. Your router's SSID will also be displayed on PC's with a wireless network adapter.

If you have deselected this option, wireless network components that want to connect to the LAN must know the SSID. This offers a certain degree of protection against unauthorised access.

Setting the Encryption

If you are sending sensitive data over wireless channels, we recommend that you activate WEP-Encryptionon your wireless network components.

i

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between wireless nodes. However WEP does not protect transmission on your wired network or over the Internet.

To activate WEP encryption on your wireless network components:

1.Activate Web encryption on your Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable and generate a 64 or 128 bit key. Make a note of the generated key.

2.Activate WEP encryption on the wireless network adapters and enter the generated 64 or 128 bit key.

You can choose either the standard 64 bit key or the more robust 128 bit key for encryption. The keys are generated in hexadecimal format or in the ASCII format. You must use the same keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset Router and all your wireless network adapters.

i

You will find a detailed example of how to set up WEP encryption in "Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" on the CD supplied.
