Security Settings In The Wireless Network - Gigaset SX763 User Manual

Security settings in the wireless network

If you are sending data over radio channels, we recommend that you activate encryp-
tion (WEP or WPA) on the components in the wireless network. WPA offers greater secu-
rity than WEP. You should therefore select WPA encryption if it is supported by all com-
ponents in your wireless network.
WPA is a more efficient method than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic
keys, based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integration Protocol) offer increased security. The
new WPA2 standard is based on AES.
WPA also supports the use of an authentication server.
