| Access Point. |
| • The keys values on the PC must match the key values on the Access |
| Point. |
| Note: |
| On some systems, the key sizes may be shown as 40bit, 104bit, and |
| 132bit instead of 64 bit, 128 bit and 156bit. This difference arises |
| because the key input by the user is 24 bits less than the key size used |
| for encryption. |
