In this case, user access is controlled by user accounts and passwords, in addition to WPA encryption. You can select the new WPA2 standard if it is supported by all components in your wireless network. Select WPA2 / WPA if you are using devices that only support WPA. ì Select the required option in the Security field. ì Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server in the RADIUS server IP address field. ì Enter the port of the RADIUS server in the RADIUS server port field. ì In the RADIUS server secret key field, enter a keyword that conforms to the conventions of the RADIUS servers that the server is to use for authentication. ì Click OK to apply the settings. 78 Configuring Advanced Settings WEP encryption If WPA is not supported by all components in your wireless network, we recommend that you activate WEP Encryption on the components. ì In the Security field, select WEP. ì Select the Authentication type: ­ Select Shared to require that each client logs 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. You must use the same keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl and all your wireless network adapters. ì Select the Key length: 64 bits or 128 bits. whether the key is to be entered manually or generated automatically by means of a Passphrase. Generating a key by means of a Passphrase keys are generated. ì Enter a Passphrase (up to 32 characters) and confirm it by entering it again. Four ì Select one of the four keys as the Default key. 79 Configuring Advanced Settings Manual key entry . ì Select the Key type, Hex or ASCII. If you select Hex as the key type you can use the characters 0 to 9 and A to F. ­ With a 64-bit encryption depth the key is exactly 10 characters long. An example of a valid key: 1234567ABC ­ With a 64-bit encryption depth the key is exactly 10 characters long. An example of a valid key: 234567ABC8912345DEF1234567 If you select ASCII as the key type, you can use the characters 0 to 9, A to Z, and a to z plus the special characters in the ASCII character set. ­ With a 64-bit encryption depth the key is exactly 5 characters long. An example of a valid key: GIGA1 ­ With a 128-bit encryption depth the key is exactly 13 characters long. An example of a valid key: GIGASET_SE551 80 Configuring Advanced Settings ì Enter up to four keys in fields Key 1 to Key 4 and confirm them by entering them again in fields Confirm key 1 to Confirm key 4. ì Select one of the four keys as the Default key. Note: u It is very important that you make a note of the key(s) that have been entered or generated. You will need this information to configure the wireless network adapters properly. u When you have concluded the configuration, you must change the WEP encryption in the wireless network adapters for the connected PCs in the same way as they will not otherwise be given access to the wireless network of the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl. ì Click OK to apply the settings. Allowed clients On this screen you can specify the PCs that are to have wireless access to the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl and hence to your LAN. [. . . ] It will then direct incoming calls for a service via Port forwarding directly to the appropriate Port of the network component in question. WAN Wide Area Network A WAN is a network that is not restricted to one particular area, such as the Internet. A WAN is run by one or more public providers to enable private access. WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP is a security protocol defined in the IEEE 802. 11 standard. [. . . ]
