Chapter 7 Wireless LAN Open system is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not an issue. The wireless station and the AP or peer computer do not share a secret key. Thus the wireless stations can associate with any AP or peer computer and listen to any transmitted data that is not encrypted. Shared key mode involves a shared secret key to authenticate the wireless station to the AP or peer computer. This requires you to enable the wireless LAN security and use same settings on both the wireless station and the AP or peer computer.In order to configure and enable WEP encryption, click Network > Wireless LAN to display the AP screen. Select Static WEP or Shared WEP from the Security Mode list. Figure 38 Network > Wireless LAN > Security: Static WEP/Shared WEP The following table describes the wireless LAN security labels in this screen.
