WEP encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption procedure for radio signals in wireless 
networks and meets the standard IEEE 802.11.
If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support 
the higher security standard WPA (see page 38), we recommend that you activate 
 on these network components. 
You can choose either the standard 64-bit key or the more robust 128-bit key for encryp-
tion. The keys are generated in hexadecimal or in ASCII format. You must use the same 
keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable and all your 
wireless network adapters.
