3.2.1.3.7 Security Tab
This tab displays information regarding the unit's security configuration. Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an authentication algorithm that protects authorized
Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping and is implemented in D-Link
AirPremier DWL-1800 units. WEP is defined in the IEEE 802.11b standard. This
encryption is applicable for both authentication and data and the key length is
40 bits.
D-Link AirPremier DWL-1800 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 any
other unit and receive and transmit data freely(null authentication).
Shared Key – Only stations using a shared key encryption are
allowed to associate.
The default authentication algorithm is Open System.
