SMC Networks SMC2586W-G manual MAC-Address-Based Access Control

with various WLAN network adapters. There are three options available, including Open System, Shared Key, and Auto.

When WEP is enabled by a security mode, the Key length can be specified to be 64 Bits or 128 Bits. The Selected key setting specifies the key to be used as a send-key for encrypting traffic from the local device side to the remote device side. All 4 WEP keys are used as receive-keys to decrypt traffic from the remote device side to the local device side.

NOTE: Each field of a WEP key setting is a hexadecimal number from 0-9, A- F. For example, when the security mode is Static WEP and the key length is 64 Bits, you could set Key 1 to “00012E3ADF”.
