Security
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) are
implemented in the wireless bridge to prevent unauthorized access to network data.
For more secure data transmissions, enable WEP or AES encryption for the
wireless bridge and set at least one encryption key.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the
network and encrypting data transmitted between wireless bridge units. WEP uses
static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are
manually configured on all bridges in the wireless bridge network.
