Setting wireless security
If you are sending data over wireless channels, we recommend that you activate encryp-
tion (
WEP or WPA ) on your wireless network components. WPA offers greater security
than WEP. We therefore recommend that you choose WPA encryption if it is supported
by all components in your wireless network.
WPA is a more advanced procedure than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic
keys based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integration Protocol) offer increased security. The
new standard WPA2 is based on AES.
WPA also supports the use of an authentication server.
ì
In the Wireless Network menu, select Encryption.
The following security mechanisms are currently available:
u WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK (see page 75)
u WAP2 and WPA2 / WPA with authentication server (see page 76)
u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy) (see page 77)
