SpeedTouch™ Web Interface
Allow multicast from Broadband Network:
Displays whether you to allow/deny multicast messages from the Internet.
WMM:
Displays whether WMM is enabled or disabled.
Under Security the following fields are available:
Broadcast Network Name:
By default the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its network name, allowing you to
easily recognise your wireless network in the list of available networks. Once
you have configured your wireless clients, it is recommended to disable this
feature by clearing this check box.
Allow New Devices:
Allows you to change the access control used by the SpeedTouch™.
Encryption:
Allows you to select an encryption level for your wireless network. The
following encryption methods are supported by the SpeedTouch™:
The Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP)
WPA-Pre Shared Key (WPA-PSK)
Configure On the Configure page, you can change the configuration details displayed on the
Details page.
WEP The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm protects wireless communication
from eavesdropping.
WEP relies on a secret key that is shared between the wireless client (for example a
laptop with a wireless Ethernet card and the SpeedTouch™. The fixed secret key is
used to encrypt packets before they are transmitted. Meaning during transmission
between client and AP ("in the air") the information in the packets is encrypted.
To enable WEP:
1 Select Use WEP Encryption
2 In the WEP Key Length list, click the desired Data Security level (either 64-bit
or 128-bit and Alphanumeric or Hexadecimal).
3 In the Encryption key box, type a Network key of your choice. In case of:
64 bit, Alphanumeric:
The 40-bit Network key must consist of 5 alphanumeric characters.
64 bit, Hexadecimal:
The 40-bit Network key must consist of 10 hexadecimal digits.
Large bandwidth streams, like video streams, have a large impact on
your wireless performance.
WMM or Wi-Fi MultiMedia enhances QoS at wireless driver level. It
provides a mechanism to prioritise wireless data traffic to and from
the associated (WMM capable) stations.
The default WEP key and the default WPA key are printed on the
SpeedTouch™ bottom label.
!
Before configuring the SpeedTouch™ encryption, make sure you
know which encryption methods are supported by your wireless
client.
If your wireless client(s) support(s) WPA-PSK we recommend you to use
WPA-PSK, because WEP encryption has been proven to have some security
issues.
