The options for
Security
include None, WEP and WPA.
•
If
None
is selected, wireless transmissions will not be protected.
•
WEP
(Wireless Encryption Protocol or Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption can be
enabled for security and privacy. WEP encrypts the data portion of each frame
transmitted from the wireless adapter using one of the predefined keys. Decryption of
the data contained in each packet can only be done if the both the receiver and
transmitter have the correct key.
•
WPA
(Wi-Fi Protected Access) security for wireless communication has been
developed to overcome some of the shortcomings of WEP. WPA combines the key
generation of WEP with the authentication services of a RADIUS (802.1x) server.
WAN Configuration
WAN is short for Wide Area Network. The WAN settings can be referred to as the Public settings. All
IP information in the WAN settings is public IP addresses, which is accessible on the Internet. There
are 8 PVCs pre-configured on this modem and upon initial connection, the appropriate settings should
automatically be set for you. Altering any of these fields should only be done if specified by your ISP,
who should have all the configuration settings necessary for your connection.
