Allied Telesis AT-WA7500, AT-WA7501 manual 190

Chapter 6: Configuring Security

Since static WEP keys can be difficult to update, the AT-WA7500 and AT-WA7501 access products let you enter up to four WEP keys, and then pick a WEP transmit key (1-4). It is easier to rotate the WEP transmit key than to individually change all the WEP keys.

802.11g and 802.11b radios support WEP 64/128 security, and 802.11a radios supports 64/128/152 security:

ˆWEP 64 has four 40-bit encryption keys and one 24-bit initialization vector (IV) key. Enter five ASCII characters or five hex pairs for the WEP keys.

ˆWEP 128 provides a higher degree of encryption protection. It has four 104-bit encryption keys and one 24-bit IV key. Enter 13 ASCII characters or hex pairs.

ˆWEP 152 provides the highest degree of encryption protection. It has four 128-bit encryption keys and one 24-bit IV key. Enter 16 ASCII characters or hex pairs.

To configure WEP 64/128/152 security

1.From the main menu, click Security and then click the radio service set you are configuring. The appropriate radio screen appears.

2.In the Security Level field, select Static WEP.
