with wired LAN devices through a wireless LAN
access point.
• WLAN security mode — You must select the same
security mode that is used in the wireless LAN access
point. If you select WEP (wired equivalent privacy),
802.1x, or WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi protected access), you
must also configure the relevant additional settings
as described in step 4. The available modes are:
• None — This security mode is commonly used with
HTTP based logon. User authentication is
performed at a higher layer using a HTML login
page.
• WEP — This security mode is supported for
compatibility with IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) networks. Pre-configured static
WEP keys are required for this mode. There are
two notations in use in the WLAN industry for the
WEP key length representation, which sometimes
makes things a bit confusing. The reason is that
WEP key has a 24 bit common part and some
vendors count this as being part of the key length,
while some vendors do not. Both notations are
equivalent at WLAN protocol level and fully
interoperable.
Note: The WEP mode provides a lower
level of security than the Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA) mode. If you
use the WEP mode, you should change
the key regularly. In the WEP mode,
the secure connection icon is not displayed.
• 802.1x — This security mode is provided in order
to support the legacy Dynamic WEP system, and
to support networks that are migrating from
Dynamic WEP to Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/
WPA2). In this mode, Nokia E70 is able to join
both dynamic WEP and WPA networks. Dynamic
WEP refers to the fact that WEP keys are not
static or pre-configured, but they are
dynamically generated as part of the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication
procedure. If WLAN access points support WPA,
then it is recommended to use the WPA/WPA2
security mode instead of this mode.
• WPA/WPA2 — The Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/
WPA2) security mode provides the highest level
of security among the WLAN security modes of
Nokia E70.
• Homepage — Enter the Web address of the page you
want to display as a home page when you use this
access point.
Note: The settings available for editing
may vary.
4 If you selected WPA/WPA2 as the WLAN security mode,
define the following in WLAN security sett.:
• WPA mode — Select EAP if you want to use an EAP
module for authentication. If you select Pre-shared
key, type the password (also called a master key) in
the field. Note that the same key must be entered in
the wireless LAN access point.
