Wep Encryption - Hama 62769 Operating Instructions Manual

Authentication: Authentication is a process in which the identity, e.g. of a person is determined based on a
certain characteristic. This can be done by fi ngerprint, password or any other proof of authorisation.
Encryption: Encryption is a process in which a plain text is transformed into a coded text via an encryption
process (algorithm). One or more codes can be used for this.
It must also be mentioned that each individual encryption process offers one or more authentication options.
Select the required profi le in profi le management, and click Modify. Now switch to the Security tab.

3.2.1 WEP encryption

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a standard encryption algorithm for WLAN. It both controls the access to
the network and guarantees the integrity of the data. This method is considered vulnerable due to a range of
weaknesses. Authentication is implemented using the shared key method.
If you use WEP encryption, select Pre-Shared key (static WEP).
Click Confi gure.
This device can be used with the following
encryption types:
64, 128 and 152 bit WEP encryption
WPA and WPA2 encryption
We recommend that you use WPA/WPA 2 encryption
with password authentication. If the other devices in the
network do not support WPA, select WEP.
The entries you make here must be exactly the same as the
encryption data in the target network, i.e. in the wireless
LAN router/access point in infrastructure mode and as all
client WLAN devices in ad-hoc mode.
In the upper area of the window you can set the characters
which can be used for the code. Hexadecimal allows
characters from 0-9 and a-f. ASCII allows any characters
except spaces to be used. The setting and the selection of
either 64, 128 and 152 bit encryption determines the length
of the code to be entered.
