or 128 bit in the WEP pull-down menu. Type a combination of up to 64 letters, numbers, or symbols in this field, which will be used to generate the four WEP keys. If you want to type in the keys manually, leave this field blank. The Asus WLAN family of products uses the same algorithm to generate the keys so that all the products can use the same WEP key.

Note: This function saves users from having to remember their passwords and is compatible for all ASUS WLAN products. How- ever, this is not as secure as the manual assignment of the keys.

WEP Key: At most four WEP keys can be set. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit in the WEP pull-down menu. The ASUS WL-HDD2.5 and ALL of its wireless clients MUST have the same default key.

Default Key: The Default Key field lets you specify which of the four encryption keys you use to transmit data on your wireless LAN. As long as the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 or a wireless mobile client with which you are communicating has the same key in the same position, you can use any of the keys as the default key. If the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 and ALL of its wireless clients use the same four WEP keys, select key rotation to maximize security. Otherwise, choose one key in common as the default key.

Hide SSID : By default, No is selected so that wireless mobile users can see your ASUS WL-HDD2.5’s SSID and join the network. If Yes is selected, your ASUS WL-HDD2.5 will not show in site surveys by wireless mobile clients and they will have to manually enter your device’s SSID. If you want to restrict access to your ASUS WL-HDD2.5, this is a simple way to do it.

Basic Rate Set: This field indicates the basic rates that wireless cli- ents must support. Use 1 & 2 Mbps only when backward compatibil- ity is needed for some older wireless LAN cards with a maximum bit rate of 2 Mbps.
