WEP encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption procedure for radio signals in wireless
networks and complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard.
If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support
the higher security standard WPA (see page 34), we recommend that you activate
Encryption on these network components.
You can choose either the standard 64-bit keys or the more robust 128-bit keys for
encryption. The keys are generated in hexadecimal or in ASCII format. You must use the
same keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and all your wire-
less networkadapters.
