As of LCOS version 4.0, WEP128 encryption is activated for every
unconfigured device as standard (’Standard WEP encryption’
→
page 72).
To check the WEP settings, open LANconfig, go to the configuration area
and select 'WLAN security' on the '802.11i/WEP' tab to view the encryp-
tion settings for the logical and physical WLAN interfaces.
With the Access Control List (ACL) you can permit or prevent the access to
your wireless LAN by individual clients. The decision is based on the MAC
address that is permanently programmed into wireless network adapters.
To check the Access Control List, go to the configuration area in
LANconfig and select 'WLAN security' on the 'Stations' tab.
The LANCOM Enhanced Passphrase Security (LEPS) uses an additional col-
umn in the ACL to assign an individual passphrase consisting of any 4 to
64 ASCII characters to each MAC address. The connection to the access
point and the subsequent encryption with IEEE 802.11i or WPA is only
possible with the right combination of passphrase and MAC address.
Have you set the 802.1x functions for particularly sensitive data
exchange in the wireless network?
If you have a particularly sensitive data exchange in your wireless net-
work, you can use the IEEE-802.1x technology for a more extensive pro-
tection. To control or to activate the IEEE-802.1x settings, select in
LANconfig the configuration area 'User registration'.
