Security Mode settings.
Access Control settings.
Security Mode Three security levels are available for protecting the SpeedTouch™ wireless network
environment.
level 0 :
No security i.e. the data will not be encrypted, no authentication process will be
used.
level 1
:
Backwards compatible security with any Wi-Fi certified client( WEP ), i.e.
encrypting the traffic between the SpeedTouch™ and the clients by sharing a
pre-defined 64-bit or 128-bit Network key.
level 2
:
WPA-PSK is the highest form of security available but make sure that your
wireless client and client manager are compatible with it.
By default the SpeedTouch™ access point uses security level 0, implying that no
encryption is used for wireless networking. In case security level 1 or 2 is active,
select Security Level 0 - no encryption to return to security level 0. Selecting this
security level has immediate effect. Data will no longer be encrypted. Therefore, to
re-access the wireless environment of the SpeedTouch™ you must first disable
security on your wireless client.
! All your wireless clients will be disconnected!
