Encryption (WEP security)

Clicking the arrow next to the “Encryption” text box reveals a list box with three options: Disabled, 64 Bit, and 128 Bit.

Disabled - If joining a wireless network with no encryption, select this option.

64 Bit - If joining a wireless network with 64-bit encryption, select this option.

128 Bit - If joining a wireless network with 128-bit encryption, select this option.

Create Keys Manually

If this radio button is activated, the user enters the WEP keys manually, selecting either Alphanumeric: 5 characters or Hexadecimal: 10 digits (0-9, A-F), depending on what kind of WEP the wireless network being joined is using.

Key #1 - Key #4

If joining a wireless network with 64-bit or 128-bit encryption, enter the encryption keys here. These keys must be identical to the wireless network’s encryption keys to join the network.

Create Keys with Passphrase

Activating this radio button allows the user to create WEP keys based on the passphrase entered. Once a passphrase is entered in the “Passphrase” text box, keys will be created and displayed in the “Key 1” through “Key 4” text boxes.
