Configuring Gigaset PC Card 54
Configuration – Security
The range of a wireless network cannot be restricted to an enclosed area. The advantage
of a location-independent connection set-up brings with it the risk of unauthorised per-
sons eavesdropping on your wireless communications. To avoid misuse of your data, it
is especially important to encrypt transmission over your WLAN.
With Gigaset data products, you can adjust the security settings for each configuration
profile to suit your needs. The following encryption methods are available:
u
WPA-PSK (recommended)
u
128 bit WEP encryption
u
64 bit WEP encryption
You can perform the security settings in Security of tab Configuration.
Please remember:
Successful communication depends on all the connection partners in a WLAN using
the same security settings (type of encryption and the appropriate keys).
