Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Unlike a wired local network, a wireless network cannot easily be protected from potential intruders by physical barriers such as walls. Since radio signals travel through physical objects, a potential intruder merely needs to listen with the right equipment to see the traffic traveling across a wireless network. For this reason, public wireless networks typically employ encryption to protect their users.
Cingular Communication Manager Help What else do I need to use WPA? To utilize WPA, you will need a WPA-compliant card and access to a WPAenabled network. Using WPA with Communication Manager Networks that are encrypted with WPA will be noted on the network list. The type of encryption (WPA, WPA-PSK, etc) will also be noted. For WPA encrypted networks, you will also need to utilize an 802.
Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks How to access a closed network To access a closed network in the Cingular Communication Manager, you must set up a Profile for that network.
