wireless security.
Connect at least one computer to the
VT2542
Ethernet port to perform configuration.
Do not attempt to configure the
VT2542
over a wireless connection.

Establishing Security for Your Wireless LAN
To prevent unauthorized viewing of data transmitted over your WLAN, you must encrypt your wireless
transmissions.
If all of your wireless clients support WPA encryption, we recommend using WPA instead of WEP. The benefits of
using WPA:
•
Provides a much stronger encryption and is more secure
•
Provides authentication to ensure that
only
authorized users can log on to your WLAN
•
It is much easier to configure
•
It uses a standard algorithm on all compliant products to generate a key from a textual passphrase
Configuring WPA on the VT2542
1
Select the WPA option on the Wireless Security page.
2
Select the encryption type (WPA, WPA2, WPA/WPA2).
3
Enter the
Group Key Interval
.
4
Select the
Radius Server
if the authentication type is remote; if it is local, select
Pre-Shared Key
.
5
Enter the
IP Address, Port, Secret
(code), and
PSK String
.
6
Click
Save

Configuring WEP on the VT2542
Use Wired Equivalent Privacy (
WEP
) if you have wireless clients that do not support WPA.
1
Check the
Enable WEP Wireless Security
box to enable the setting.
2
Select the
Authentication Type
(Open, Shared, Both) from the pull down menu.
3
Click the
SECURITY
tab to display the page.
4
Check the key field (0
—
3).
5
Enter the encryption key.
6
Select the cipher (64, 128, 256) size from the pull down menu.
7
Click
Save.
You must restart the wireless system in order for the changes to take affect.
Caution!
If you use WEP encryption, you must configure the same WEP key on the
VT2542 access point
and all
wireless clients (stations).
Never provide your WEP key or passphrase to anyone who is not authorized
to use your WLAN.
WEP
Authentication
Sets whether shared key authentication is enabled to provide data privacy on the WLAN:
•
Open System — Any WLAN
client
can transmit data to any other client without
authentication. It is the default, if the Security Mode is set to WEP.
•
Shared Key — The
VT2542
authenticates and transfers data to and from all clients having
shared key authentication enabled.
We recommend this setting.
Encryption
Use a WEP key length that is compatible with your wireless client adapters. Choose
one
of:
•
Enable 64-Bit — Use only if you have wireless clients that do not support 128-bit encryption
•
Enable 128-Bit — We recommend this setting for stronger encryption; it is supported by the
Motorola WN825G and WPCI810G wireless adapters and most current wireless adapters
Key Type
(Key 0 to Key 3)
Select the active key (0 to 3). Only
one
key can be active.
•
Four 10-character long key 64-bit WEP keys
•
Four 26-character long 128-bit WEP keys
We recommend changing the WEP keys frequently. Never provide the WEP key to anyone
who is not authorized to use your WLAN.
