 WPA and WPA2. The router will allow access with either protocol
 802.1x WEP. Radius Server authentication.
 Authentication only.
Note: Not all wireless client equipment supports ASCII-text format. If you are experiencing
problems, use the hexadecimal key format since most vendors support it.
Note: WPA/WPA2 is recommended as it provides a higher level of security due to the longer key
that changes automatically.
Configuring WEP:
 Key Type: Select the encryption level from the drop-down list.
 Pre-shared key: Type in the hexadecimal 26 characters, or a plain text (ASCII) pass-phrase of 5
or 13 characters.
Configuring WPA or WPA2 encryption:
 Key Type: Select the encryption level from the drop-down list.
 Pre-shared key: Type in the hexadecimal 64 characters, or a plain text (ASCII) pass-phrase of at
least 8 characters.
Note: Advanced options for encryption configuration are available via the icons ‘Connection Settings’,
‘Network Connections’. Wireless encryption has no security effect on wired (Ethernet) connections.
Firewall Setup
The GlobeSurfer III+ firewall has three pre-defined levels of security. The default, ‘typical security’,
blocks traffic initiated by an external (Internet) source, and allows traffic initiated from the local
network.
For advanced configuration of your firewall security parameters, please refer to the ‘Reference
Manual’.
