Chapter 6 Wireless LAN

The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your G-1000. EAP (Extensible 
Authentication Protocol) is used for authentication and utilizes dynamic WEP key exchange. It 
requires interaction with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server 
either on the WAN or your LAN to provide authentication service for wireless stations

If you do not enable any wireless security on your G-1000, your network is accessible to any 
wireless networking device that is within range. 

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access 
points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast 
communications in a network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the 
same WEP key. 

Your G-1000 allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys, but only one key 
can be enabled at any one time.

In order to configure and enable WEP encryption; click WIRELESS and the Wireless tab to 
the display the Wireless screen.
