Local Network Setup

Data encryption To setup wireless connectivity, you can choose different levels of security:

Low (Security disabled, the default): No security; the data will not be encrypted, no authentication process will be used.

Medium: Use WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) to encrypt the traffic between the SpeedTouch™ and the clients by sharing a pre-defined 64-bit or a 128-bit Network key for secure communication with legacy 802.11b clients.

The default 64 bits hexadecimal WEP key is printed on the

identification label located at the bottom of the SpeedTouch™ and is unique for each device.

High: Use WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) encryption, the highest form of security available, but make sure that your wireless client and client manager are compatible with it.

The default WPA-Personal passphrase is printed on the

identification label located at the bottom of the SpeedTouch™ and is unique for each device.

The WPA-Personal passphrase must consist of 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 8 to 64 HEX digits.
