Data encryption
To setup wireless connectivity, you can choose different levels of security:
Low
(Security disabled, the default): No security; the data will not be
encrypted, no authentication process will be used.
Medium
: Use WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) to encrypt the traffic
between the SpeedTouch™ and the clients by sharing a pre-defined 64-bit
or a 128-bit Network key for secure communication with legacy 802.11b
clients.
High
: Use WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) encryption,
the highest form of security available, but make sure that your wireless
client and client manager are compatible with it.
The default 64 bits hexadecimal WEP key is printed on the
identification label located at the bottom of the SpeedTouch™
and is unique for each device.
The default WPA-Personal passphrase is printed on the
identification label located at the bottom of the SpeedTouch™
and is unique for each device.
The WPA-Personal passphrase must consist of 8 to 63 ASCII
characters or 8 to 64 HEX digits.
