transmission rate possible depends on the WLAN standard of the connection partner
in question.
The default setting is 802.11b/g.
Configuration – Security
The range of a wireless network cannot be restricted to an enclosed area. The advantage
of a location-independent connection set-up brings with it the risk of unauthorised
persons eavesdropping on your wireless communications. To avoid misuse of your data,
it is especially important to encrypt transmission over your WLAN.
With Gigaset data products, you can adjust the security settings for each configuration
profile to suit your needs. The following encryption methods are available:
u WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (recommended)
u WEP encryption (128 bit or 64 bit)
You can find the security settings in Security of the Configuration tab.
Activating security options
In the Configuration – Security tab, the default security mode is None. You can use
this to register on all wireless networks which do not use encryption for data transfer.
If you would like to register on a wireless network where the registration is checked and
data transfer is encrypted, you must activate the security options of your Gigaset USB
Adapter 54.
Please remember:
Successful communication depends on all the connection partners in a WLAN using
the same security settings (type of encryption and the appropriate keys).
