Figure 23 Wireless > General: No Security The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 8 Wireless > General: No Security LABEL DESCRIPTION Security Level Choose No Security from the sliding bar. 5.2.2 Basic (Static WEP/Shared WEP Encryption) WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points (AP) to keep network communications private. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key. There are two types of WEP authentication namely, Open System (Static WEP) and Shared Key (Shared WEP). 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. LTE-5121 User's Guide 47
