19 19 Sec uring y our Wi -Fi ® Netw ork Here are a few different ways to maximize the security of your wireless network and protect your data from unwanted intrusions. This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office user . At the time of publication, three encryption methods are available.
21 20 21 20 WEP ( Wir ed Eq uiv al ent Pri vac y) WEP (W ired E quivalent P rivacy) is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant wireless products. WEP gives wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy pr otection as a comparable wired network.
21 21 For instance: AF0F4BC3D4 = 64-bit WEP key C3030F AF0F4BB2C3D44BC3D4E7 = 128-bit WEP key If you have multiple vendors’ equipment in your network, the easiest thing to do is to write down the hex WEP key from your wir eless router or access point and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your Card’ s configuration screen.
23 22 23 22 Most Wi-Fi products ship with security tur ned off. So once you have your network working, you need to activate WEP or WP A and make sure all your wireless devices are sharing the same network key . The following diagram shows the effect of not having the correct network key throughout your network.
23 23 In the boxes below , make up your key by writing in two characters between A–F and 0–9 in each box. Y ou will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Wirelesss Router (or Access Point) and your wireless computers.
25 24 25 24 WEP Set up 64-Bit WEP Encryption 1. Select “64-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu. 2. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually , or you can type in a passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a key .
25 25 128-Bit WEP Encryption 1. Select “128-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu. 2. After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key manually by typing in the hex key manually , or you can type in a passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a key .
27 26 27 26 WP A-PSK (no server) Choose this setting if your network does not use a radius server . WP A-PSK (no server) is typically used in home and small office networking. 1. From the Security Mode drop-down menu, select “WP A-PSK (no server)”.
27 27 WP A (with server) Settings Choose this setting if your network uses a radius server to distribute keys to the clients (network cards). This is typically used for a business network. 1. From the Security Mode drop-down menu, select “WP A (with server)”.
29 28 29 28 Con figu ring y our Be lkin Wi r el ess G Not eboo k and Wir el ess G Desk top Ne twor k Car ds to Use Sec urity At this point, you should already have your wireless router or access point set to use WP A or WEP .
29 29 5. T ype your WEP key in the “Network key” box. Imp ortan t: A WEP key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 128-bit WEP , you need to enter 26 keys. For 64-bit WEP , you need to enter 10 keys. This network key needs to match the key you assign to your wireless router or access point.
