Security measures
To protect the data transferred over the WLAN, the following configuration steps should be
carried out in the Wireless LAN->WLAN->Wireless Networks (VSS)->New menu, where
necessary:
• Change the access passwords for your device.
• Change the default SSID, Network Name (SSID) = $1, of your access point. Set
Visible = "1. This will exclude all WLAN clients that attempt to establish a connec-
tion with the general value for Network Name (SSID) 3( and do not know the SSID set-
tings.
• Use the available encryption methods. To do this, select Security Mode = 2 , 2
, 23 4 or 23 + and enter the relevant key in the access point un-
der WEP Key 1 - 4 or Preshared Key and in the WLAN clients.
• The WEP key should be changed regularly. To do this, change the Transmit Key. Select
the longer 104 Bit WEP key.
• For transmission of information with very high security relevance, configure Security
Mode = 23 +with WPA Mode = 23 . This method contains hardware-
based encryption and RADIUS authentication of the client. In special cases, combination
with IPSec is possible.
• Restrict WLAN access to permitted clients. Enter the MAC addresses of the wireless net-
work cards for these clients in the Allowed Addresses list in the MAC-Filter menu (see
Fields in the menu MAC-Filter on page 159).
A list of all WLAN networks is displayed in the Wireless LAN->WLAN->Wireless Net-
works (VSS) menu.
