Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption is used for security for the airHaul2 Nexus PRO radio. To enable or disable WEP or change the relevant settings, the user can go to the security setting page on the web interface. The following table describes the information for the Data Encryption.

		Table 2-5 Data Encryption
	Page Items	Descriptions
		Selects authentication method between open system and shared key
		Open system: Open System is null authentication. With WEP enabled
		and valid WEP key on both ends, it provides data encryption. Clients
	Authentication	without correct WEP key still can associate but can not send packet
		through.
		Shared key: Strict authentication for both authentication and data
		encryption. Clients must provide valid WEP key to associate.
	WEP	Enable /Disable WEP Encryption
	WEP Key Type	HEX
		Chooses encryption key size between 40bits and 104bits
		When key size is changed, all 4 keys are lost and the user needs to re-
		enter.
	WEP Key Size	64 bits: The user has to input 10 HEX digits.
		128 bits: The user has to input 26 HEX digits.
