Motorola WU830G manual Encryption Status

CONFIGURATION

SECTION 3

 

 

The following table describes the encryption status and the fields that become active with that encryption status:

Encryption Status

WEP 64-bit or WEP 128-bit

Description

Select the same encryption that is used by your access point.

Passphrase

Some access points/wireless

 

clients can use a passphrase

 

instead of WEP keys. The

 

passphrase automatically

 

generates the WEP keys.

 

The passphrase should be 8 to

 

63 characters long.

 

If you use a passphrase, you

 

need to make sure that the WEP

 

keys generated by that

 

passphrase match the keys on

 

the access point.

 

If your wireless router/wireless

 

access point is a Motorola

 

product, the same passphrase

 

will generate the same WEP

 

keys.

 

 

Transmit

There are four available WEP

Key

keys. By setting the transmit key,

 

you can specify which key

 

(1 to 4) to use to encrypt the

 

wireless packets. This is also

 

known as the key index on some

 

access points.

 

Key 1

The key used for packet

 

 

through

encryption. If WEP 64-bit

 

Key 4

encryption is selected, then this

 

 

field requires ten characters. If

 

 

WEP 128-bit encryption is

 

 

selected, then 26 characters are

 

 

required. The key must be in

 

 

hexadecimal format.

 

 

You may have to manually enter

 

 

the key if the passphrase

 

 

generates WEP keys that do not

 

 

match the wireless

 

 

router/wireless access point.
