To create the text file, use a text program such as Microsoft Notepad or WordPad. The text file should have a “.txt” extension. The first line of the text file must read “[WEP_KEY_VALUE]”. Then, enter one to four Keys in the following format: “key#=<key value>”, where # indicates the Key number (1-4) and <key value> is the specified Key’s hexadecimal digits.

Each Key must be contain hexadecimal digits only (0-9 and A-F), and you must use the same number of digits for each Key. The number of digits depends upon the Key Size you select in the WEP Keys Configuration screen:

•For 64 Bit, use 10 digits per Key.

•For 128 Bit, use 26 digits per Key.

•For 152 Bit, use 32 digits per Key.

The following example illustrates the WEP Key file format for 64-bit encryption:

[WEP_KEY_VALUE] key1=1234567890 key2=0987654321 key3=ABCDEF1234 key4=ABCDEFABCD
