The DS.11 Configuration Utility
3.3.7 Security Tab
This window displays the following read only information, regarding the security
configuration of the unit. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an authentication
algorithm which protects authorized Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping,
and is implemented in BreezeNET DS.11 units. The definition of WEP is defined
in the IEEE 802.11b standard. The encryption is applicable for both authentication
and data. The key length is 40 bits.
DS.11 units can use one of the following authentication algorithms (as defined in
the IEEE 802.11b standard).
Open System – any station in the WLAN can associate with a BU-DS.11 and
receive and transmit data (null authentication).
Shared Key – only stations using a shared key encryption identified by the
BU-DS.11 are allowed to associate with it.
The default authentication algorithm is Open System.
