4.0 Securing your wireless network
To avoid having uninvited guests accessing your wireless network we strongly
recommend securing your wireless network. This security feature (pass-key) needs to
be submitted into your wireless modem or your wireless router. The modem or router
will subsequently send out an encrypted signal, unable to be accessed by third party
guests.
There are a number of methods to secure your wireless network on several levels.
Make sure all wireless network equipment is capable of adopting the method of
choice. The latest and also most effective way of securing your wireless network is
WPA(2) (WiFi Protected Access). Some useful tips for securing your wireless network
are mentioned below.
• Refer to the manual of your wireless router and/or modem to install and activate
wireless security.
• Write down settings such as: the security method, encryption level (in Bits),
method of submitting (ASCII, Hex etc.), the security key and the key index.
• Configure all other wireless equipment within your network with the same
settings.
Hint! When using the Eminent EM4050 wLINK, the EM4450, the EM4551/EM4552 or
the EM4216/17 wSURF, you can use the best form of security possible: WPA or
WPA2. We strongly recommend to use one of these security methods.
