Security settings

Note:

uIt is very important that you make a note of the Pre-shared key. You will need this information to configure the wireless network adapters correctly.

uWhen you have completed the Security Setup Wizard you must also change the encryption data of the wireless network adapters in the connected PCs since, without the change, they will not be able to access the Gigaset SE366 WLAN's wireless network.

WEP encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption procedure for radio signals in wireless networks and complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard.

If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support the higher security standard WPA (see page 39), we recommend that you activate WEP Encryption on these network components.

You cannot user WEP together with registration via WPS.

You can choose either the standard 64-bit keys or the more robust 128-bit keys for encryption. The keys are generated in hexadecimal or ASCII format. You must use the same keys for the Gigaset SE366 WLAN and all your wireless network adapters.

ìSelect the Key length: 64 or 128-bit.

ìSelect the Input type, i.e. whether you wish to enter the key manually or have it generated automatically by means of a Passphrase.
