ì So that the MAC addresses of accessing PCs are checked, activate in MAC Filter the

option On.

Now enter the MAC addresses of those PCs you want to have access.

Once you have entered all the PCs you want, click on OK.

WPA encryption

This option is only available in Access point mode.

WPA increases security in a wireless network by using a new procedure for assigning

keys (TKIP, Temporal Key Integration Protocol). It generates the access code from a com-

bination of the MAC address and a freely assignable key. WPA also supports the use of

a RADIUS server.

In the Security menu, select WPA.

ì WPA encryption is activated when the WPA option has been set to On.

ì In Authentication type select the option Pre-shared key, if you do not have a

RADIUS server. In Pre-shared key type specify whether a Passphrase of 8-63 char-

acters is to be used to generate the key or a hexadecimal value of 64 digits.

ì Then enter a key of your choice in Pre-shared key.

Please remember:

If the PC you are using to configure the Gigaset WLAN Repeater has a wireless con-

nection, make sure you enter it in the MAC filter table before activating the MAC

address filter. Otherwise you will no longer have any access to configuration pro-

gram. If you have accidentally denied access to the Gigaset WLAN Repeater for all PCs,

you will have to connect the PC you are using for configuration to the Gigaset WLAN

Repeater with a LAN cable so that you can permit wireless access again.
