WEP encryption

If WPA is not supported by all components in your wireless network, we recommend
that you activate

WEP Encr yption

on the components.

Choose the WEP option in the Security field.

Select the Authentication type:
– Select Shared to require that each client log in to the network with a specified

key.

– Select Open to permit data transfer within the wireless network without the need

to enter a key.

You can choose either the standard 64-bit key or the more robust 128-bit key. The keys
are generated in hexadecimal or in ASCII format. You must use the same keys for encryp-
tion and decryption for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and all your wireless network
adapters.

Select the Key length: 64 bits or 128 bits.

Select the Input type, i.e. whether the key is to be entered manually or generated
automatically by means of a Passphrase.
