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 in ASCII format. You must use the same
keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 and all your
wireless network adapters.

Select the Key length: 64 bit or 128 bit.

Select the Input type, i.e. whether you wish to enter the key manually or have it
generated automatically by means of a Passphrase.

Please note:
If you have already set WEP encryption in your wireless network, you must set the
same encryption data here.
