3-11-1-7-3 Setting Security Parameters
The “Profile Management - Security” window (see: Figure 3-133 below) enables to set parameters
that control how the client adapter associates to an access point, authenticates to the wireless
network, and encrypts and decrypts data.
To access this window, click the
SECURITY tab from any Profile Management window.
This window includes many security features, each of which involves a number of steps.
You can protect your data as it is transmitted through your wireless network by encrypting it through
the use of wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption keys. The security features themselves are
complex and need to be understood before they are implemented.
