LANCOM Wireless DSL – LANCOM Wireless ADSL Chapter 8: Security settings72EN8.1.5 802.1x / EAPThe international industry standard IEEE 802.1x and the Extensible Authenti-cation Protocol (EAP) enables the realization of reliable and secure accesscontrols for base stations. The access data is centrally administered on aRADIUS server then, and can be retrieved by the base station if required.Standard WEP encryptionAs of LCOS version 4.0, WEP128 encryption is activated for every uncon-figured device as standard.The key consists of the first letter “L” followed by the LAN MAC address ofthe access point in ASCII characters. The LAN MAC addresses of theLANCOM devices always begin with the character string “00A057”. Youwill find the LAN MAC address on a sticker on the base of the device. Onlyuse the number labeled as “MAC address” that starts with “00A057”. Theother numbers that may be found are not the LAN MAC address!A device with the LAN MAC address “00A0570FB9BF” thus has a standardWEP key of “L00A0570FB9BF”. This key is entered into the 'Private WEPsettings' of the device for each logical WLAN network as 'Key 1'.To use a WLAN adapter to establish a connection to a new LANCOMaccess point, the WEP128 encryption must be activated for the WLANadapter and the standard 13-character WEP key entered.Note that a reset also causes the WLAN key settings to be lostfrom the device and the standard WEP key comes into effectagain. WLAN access can only work after a reset if the standardWEP key is programmed into the WLAN adapter as well. |
