Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication between wireless 

stations, access points and the wired network. 

The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your BIPAC-5100/5100W. The 

highest security level relies on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) 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 BIPAC-5100/5100W, your network is 

accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range. 

Use the BIPAC-5100/5100W web configurator to configurator to set up your wireless LAN 

security settings. Refer to the chapter on using the BIPAC-5100/5100W web configurator to 

see how to access the web configurator. 

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 for data encryption and decryption. 

Your BIPAC-5100/5100W 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.
