Manage personal WEP keys
Personal Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys are used for authenticating the user
in a WLAN. Personal keys are usually created by the system administrator, who
can store them on SIM cards and then distribute them to the users. Personal keys
can also be saved to a file. Since personal keys are not network specific, they
cannot be saved together with profiles. They can, however, be saved to a file and
used independently from profiles.
Personal WEP keys can be used only with the infrastructure operating mode,
provided that the WLAN access point supports the keys. Ad hoc networks use
shared WEP keys only.
See “Create and edit personal WEP keys” on page 40 for more information.
Administrator page
The Administrator page is meant for system administrators and is not installed as
part of the normal installation procedure. On the Administrator page, the system
administrator can view detailed information on the network connections and save
important data on a SIM card. The administrator can create installation disks that
include relevant network profiles and settings, and that then can be distributed to
end users within a corporation, for example.
Monitor information on WLAN
On the
WLAN
tab you can view general information on various elements of a
WLAN. Depending on the type of access point in use, the details displayed can
include network name, data rate, channel, signal strength, and IP address.
