4. Set the Key Type

Valid values for Key Type are ASCII or Hex. The following commands set the Key Type.

Feature or Setting

CLI Command

 

 

To set the Key Type to ASCII:

set interface wlan0 wep-key-ascii yes

 

 

To set the Key Type to Hex:

set interface wlan0 wep-key-ascii no

 

 

For our example, we’ll set the Key Type to ASCII:

AT-TQ2403# set interface wlan0 wep-key-ascii yes

5.Set the WEP Keys

Note: The number of characters required for each WEP key depends on how you set Key Length and Key Type:

∙If Key Length is 40 bits and the Key Type is "ASCII", then each WEP key is 5 characters long.

∙If Key Length is 40 bits and Key Type is "Hex", then each WEP key must is 10 characters long.

∙If Key Length is 104 bits and Key Type is "ASCII", then each WEP Key must be 13 characters long.

∙If Key Length is 104 bits and Key Type is "Hex", then each WEP Key must be 26 characters long.

Although the CLI will allow you to enter WEP keys of any number of characters, you must use the correct number of characters for each key to ensure a valid security configuration.

AT-TQ2403# set interface wlan0 wep-key-1 abcde

AT-TQ2403# set interface wlan0 wep-key-2 fghij

AT-TQ2403# set interface wlan0 wep-key-3 klmno
