Encryption Settings

For Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) you have three options: Disabled, 64 Bits, and 128 Bits. All wireless network devices in a Local Area Network (LAN) must have the same WEP settings and WEP key entry for this feature to work. If WEP is disabled, the data is not encrypted before being transmitted. To enable encryption, you must select either 64 Bits or 128 Bits.

The type of Encryption option to use depends on your Access Point encryption settings.

Use “0”s for unused keys.

1. Click the Encryption tab (see Figure 4-5).

 

To enable WEP, click the Encryption (WEP)

 

box, and then click the number of bits that

 

you want.

 

2. The type of encryption option depends on

 

your access point encryption settings. If you

 

want to create a WEP key entry using a

 

passphrase, click the Create with

 

Passphrase option, and then type a series

 

of alphanumeric characters in the

 

Passphrase box. A series of hexadecimal

 

values will be created automatically.

 

3. If you want to create a WEP key entry

 

manually, click the Manual Entry option.

 

By default, hexadecimal values are used.

 

For more information, see “Hexadecimal” on

 

page D-4.

6.Click the Apply Changes button to save the settings.
