WEP encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption procedure for radio signals in wireless
networks and meets the standard IEEE 802.11.
If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support
the higher security standard WPA (see page 39), we recommend that you activate
WEP Encryption on these network components.
You can choose either the standard 64-bit key or the more robust 128-bit key for encryp-
tion. The keys are generated in hexadecimal or ASCII format. You must use the same
keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset SE365 WLAN and all your wireless
network adapters.
Please note:
If you have already set WEP encryption in your wireless network, you must set the
same encryption data here.
