WMM
:
Displays whether WMM is enabled or disabled.
Under
Security
the following fields are available:
±
Broadcast Network Name
:
By default the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its network name, allowing you to
easily recognise your wireless network in the list of available networks. Once
you have configured your wireless clients, it is recommended to disable this
feature by clearing this check box.
±
Allow New Devices
:
Allows you to change the access control used by the SpeedTouch™.
±
Encryption
:
Allows you to select an encryption level for your wireless network. The
following encryption methods are supported by the SpeedTouch™:
±
The Wired Equivalent Protocol (
WEP
)
±
WPA-Pre Shared Key (
WPA-PSK
)
Configure
On the
Configure
page, you can change the configuration details displayed on the
Details
page.
WEP
The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm protects wireless communication
from eavesdropping.
WEP relies on a secret key that is shared between the wireless client (for example a
laptop with a wireless Ethernet card and the SpeedTouch™. The fixed secret key is
used to encrypt packets before they are transmitted. Meaning during transmission
between client and AP ("in the air") the information in the packets is encrypted.
To enable WEP:
1
Select
Use WEP Encryption
2
In the
WEP Key Length
list, click the desired Data Security level (either 64-bit
or 128-bit and Alphanumeric or Hexadecimal).
3
In the
Encryption key
box, type a Network key of your choice. In case of:
±
64 bit, Alphanumeric
:
The 40-bit Network key must consist of 5 alphanumeric characters.
±
64 bit, Hexadecimal
:
The 40-bit Network key must consist of 10 hexadecimal digits.
±
128 bit, Alphanumeric
:
The 104-bit Network key consists of 13 alphanumeric characters.
±
128 bit, Hexadecimal
:
The 104-bit Network key consists of 26 hexadecimal digits.

Click
Apply
to immediately apply your changes.
WMM or Wi-Fi MultiMedia enhances QoS at wireless driver level. It
provides a mechanism to prioritise wireless data traffic to and from
the associated (WMM capable) stations.
The default WEP key and the default WPA key are printed on the
SpeedTouch™ bottom label.
!
Before configuring the SpeedTouch™ encryption, make sure you
know which encryption methods are supported by your wireless
client.
If your wireless client(s) support(s) WPA-PSK we recommend you to use
WPA-PSK, because WEP encryption has been proven to have some security
issues.

WPA-PSK
The SpeedTouch™ supports WPA-PSK, which offers three advantages over WEP:
±
Authentication via a 4-way handshake to check whether the Pre-Shared Keys
(PSKs) are identical.
±
Stronger encryption types:
±
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) (default): Instead of using a
fixed WEP key, TKIP uses in pairs temporary session keys which are
derived from the PSK during the 4-way handshake. For each packet
it uses a different key. TKIP also provides a message integrity check
(MIC) and a rekeying mechanism (in seconds).
±
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES): State-of-the-art encryption;
can only be used if all wireless devices in your WLAN support AES.
±
Message Integrity Check (MIC). Which is a strong mathematical function in
which the recipient and transmitter each compute and compare the MIC. If
they don't match it is assumed that a third person has been trying to read the
data.
Proceed as follows to enable WPA-PSK:
1
Select
Use WPA-PSK Encryption
.
2
In the
WPA-PSK Encryption Key
box, type a pass phrase (also known as Pre-
shared key) of your choice. The pass phrase must consist of 8 to 63 ASCII
characters or 64 HEX digits.
3
In the
WPA-PSK Version
list, click the desired WPA-PSK version.
4
Click
Apply
to immediately apply your changes.
5
Configure your wireless client(s) with the same settings.
Access control on the
SpeedTouch™
The following modes are available:
±
New stations are allowed (automatically)
:
All New stations can access the SpeedTouch™ WLAN.
±
New stations are allowed (via registration)
:
Only allowed stations in the Access Control List (ACL) have access. You can
add new stations via registration.
For more information, see
“ Allowing new wireless” on page 87
±
New stations are not allowed
:
Only allowed stations in the Access Control List (ACL) have access.
Depending on the WPA-PSK version you choose, one of the following
WPA-PSK encryption will be set automatically:
±
WPA: TKIP
±
WPA2: AES
±
WPA+WPA2: TKIP+AES
AES is not yet implemented in most clients but it is in the
SpeedTouch™ because it will be the future security standard.

Allowing new wireless
If you selected
New stations are allowed (via registration)
or in the
New stations
are not allowed
list, wireless clients have to be added manually.
Proceed as follows:
1
In the
Home Network
menu, click
Devices
.
2
In the
Pick a task
list, click
Search for wireless devices
.
The SpeedTouch™ searches for new wireless stations that use the encryption
key of the SpeedTouch™ Access Point.
The SpeedTouch™ takes you to the
Home Network
. The new station will be
shown next to the name of the SpeedTouch™ WLAN.
To view the device settings, click the name of the new station. For more
Information, see
“4.6.4 Wireless Device Settings” on page 83
