WLAN Profiles
A WLAN profile defines all of the settings necessary to establish a wireless connection with an
access point (in infrastructure mode). A maximum of four profiles can exist on the xPico Wi-Fi at a
time and only one profile may be active at any given time.
xPico Wi-Fi supports dynamic profiles. Dynamic Profiles are the ones created via QuickConnect.
WLAN Profile WEP Settings
WEP is a simple and efficient security mode encrypting the data via the RC4 algorithm. However,
WEP has become more vulnerable due to advances in hacking technology. State of the art
equipment can find WEP keys in five minutes. For stronger security, please use WPA, or better,
WPA2 with AES (CCMP).
WLAN Profile WPA and WPA2 Settings
WPA is a security standard specified by the WiFi Alliance and is a close derivative of an early draft
of the IEEE802.11i specification. WEP was becoming vulnerable when finalizing the IEEE802.11i
standard was still far away. WPA2 is WiFi's subset of the broad IEEE802.11i standard to enforce
better interoperability. The xPico Wi-Fi is compliant with both WPA2 and IEEE802.11i.
