Setting Encryption - Gigaset SX763 Manual

You would use this option if you have created a PIN at the desired client. Enter the
PIN of the WLAN partner device and click OK to activate your settings.
Note:
If you have activated access control via the MAC address filter, you have to include the
clients in the MAC address list before registering via WPS (see page 94).

Setting encryption

Note:
If you have already performed WPS registration, WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK encryption is
activated. The following description is only valid if you are not using WPS.
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 -PSK is a more efficient method than WEP for protecting wireless networks.
Dynamic keys, based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integration Protocol) offer increased secu-
rity. The new WPA2-PSK standard is based on AES.
WPA also supports the use of an authentication server.
