Setting the Encryption
If you are sending sensitive data over wireless channels, we recommend that you
activate WEP - Encryption on your wireless network components.
To activate WEP encryption on your wireless network components:
1. Activate Web encryption on your Gigaset SE105 dsl/cable and generate a
64- or 128-bit key Make a note of the generated key.
2. Activate Web encryption on wireless network adapters and enter the generated
64- or 128-bit key.
You can choose either the standard 64-bit key or the more robust 128-bit key for
encryption. The keys are generated in hexadecimal format. You have to use the same
keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset Router and all your wireless network
adapters.
Keys can be generated automatically. You can also enter them manually. For automatic
64-bit encryption, you enter a passphrase that is used to generate four keys. For
automatic 128-bit encryption, a single key is generated from the passphrase.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between
wireless nodes. However WEP does not protect transmission on your
wired network or over the Internet.

You will find a detailed example of how to set WEP encryption in "Practical
Tips and Configuration Examples" on the supplied CD.
