Encryption

Most internal LAN traffic does not require additional security meas- ures. If you are transferring sensitive files or other material over the wireless LAN, you may enable the WEP Security Settings. WEP stands for "Wired Equivalent Protocol".

Click on either the "40(64) bit" or the "128-bit” radio button to select which Shared Key you will use, and enter a 10 digit hexadecimal number into the Key 1 field. Hexadecimal numbers may be alpha- numeric (numerals 0-9 or letters a-f).

Note: Most wireless network cards utilize the 64-bit algorithm, in- cluding the Apple Airport card.

Note: Up to 4 WEP Keys may be configured. Each Key number must be different. Each client must also use the active WEP key to access the wireless network (the default key is 1).

WEP Security and Apple Airport Wireless Cards

The Apple Airport Wireless Card and the router enter and store the WEP Security Key differently. From the Airport icon on your com- puter’s control strip, select the router, and enter $ plus the WEP key in the password field.
