Encryption

The default factory setting for the 3e-525A AP in gateway mode is no

encryption but for security reasons it will not communicate to any clients

unless the encryption is set by the administrator. It is recommended that

you set encryption as soon as possible.

In order to use the 3e-525A with no encryption, you must actively

select None and click Apply. A screen will appear, asking if you really

want to operate in Bypass mode. If you answer Yes, no encryption will be

applied.

Using the 3e-525A AP in gateway mode allows you to employ the

WEP (RC4) encryption standard if you wish. If using WEP, authentication

type can be set to Open System, Shared Key or a combination of Open/

Shared.

When disabled, the AP hides the SSID in outgoing

beacon frames and stations cannot obtain the SSID

through passive scanning.

Also, when it is disabled, the AP doesn't send

probe responses to probe requests with unspecified

SSIDs.
