5.Enter the WEP encryption key information:

•WEP PassPhrase: To use a passphrase to automatically generate the keys, enter a passphrase and click Generate. Wireless stations must use the passphrase or keys to access the gateway.

•Key 1 through Key 4: You can manually enter the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your network. For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0–9 or A–F). For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hexadecimal digits.

•Select which of the four keys will be the default. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data. The four entries are disabled if WPA-PSK or WPA authentication is selected.

6.Click Apply to save your settings.

Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure WEP settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to match the new settings or access the gateway from a wired computer to make any further changes.

Configuring WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK Wireless Security

Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or above do include the client software that supports WPA. The wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions on configuring WPA settings.

To configure WPA in the gateway:

1.Log in to the gateway as described in “Logging In to Your Gateway” on page 1-4.
