Configuring Advanced Settings

WEP encryption

If WPA is not supported by all components in your wireless network, we recommend that you activate WEP Encryption on the components.

ìChoose the WEP option in the Security field.

ìSelect the Authentication type:

Select Shared to require that each client log in to the network with a specified key.

Select Open to permit data transfer within the wireless network without the need to enter a key.

You can choose either the standard 64-bit key or the more robust 128-bit key. The keys are generated in hexadecimal or in ASCII format. You must use the same keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and all your wireless network adapters.

ìSelect the Key length: 64 bits or 128 bits.

ìSelect the Input type, i.e. whether the key is to be entered manually or generated automatically by means of a Passphrase.
