Security Configuration Web Pages
The Security tab accesses screens for configuring the various security features in the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge.
Security settings determine who is allowed network access through the Vivato Wi-Fi AP/Bridge.
Security is initially turned off in the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge to allow access for configuration. Security should
be configured when you access the configuration web pages for the first time and select the security
method in the Quick Setup screens. For more information on configuring Microsoft® Windows XP®
and Windows 2000® clients and a Windows 2000 Internet Access Server (Win2K IAS) for EAP or
PEAP security, see Windows XP Win2kIAS Deployment.pdf on the Vivato 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi AP/Bridge
CD-ROM.
Information on 802.1x security with Microsoft Windows XP® or Windows 2000® is also available at
the following website:

Security Settings
Security settings are arranged on the following configuration pages:
• Security>WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy
• Security>802.1x - Extensible Application Protocol (EAP/PEAP)
Security>Summary
The Security Summary table lists the types of security that are available and if they are enabled or
disabled at this time. Clicking on the type of security accesses its settings.
Security>WEP
Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) is a method of data encryption for wireless networks, originally
developed to provide approximately the same level of security provided by wired networks. Data
encryption keys are shared between the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge and the wireless clients to try to provide
Important WEP is used by 802.1x, and is automatically enabled when 802.1x is enabled. Therefore, do
not attempt to disable WEP after enabling 802.1x. If you were previously using WEP, but are
now changing to using 802.1x, disable your WEP configuration before configuring and
enabling 802.1x.
802.1x security is not configurable from the VivatoVision web interface with this firmware
release, but can be configured using the command line interface.
