Figure 3-11: Security Tab
This tab displays information regarding the unit’s security
configuration. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an
authentication algorithm that protects authorized Wireless
LAN users against eavesdropping and is implemented in
BreezeNET DS.11 units. WEP is defined in the IEEE 802.11b
standard. This encryption is applicable for both
authentication and data and the key length is 40 bits.
DS.11 units can use one of the following authentication
algorithms (as defined in the IEEE 802.11b standard).
♦ Open System: Any station in the WLAN can associate
with any other unit and receive and transmit data freely
(null authentication).
