• Decrypt wireless messages received via the wireless interface.
• Encrypt data that will be transmitted via the wireless interface.
You may desire an additional measure of security in your wireless network, which can
be achieved by using the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
If you would like to enable WEP, the system will prompt a message to suggest
that you contact with your network administrator.
