Enter a rotation interval in seconds.

 

interval (sec)

If you enter 900, for example, the access

 

 

 

 

point sends a new broadcast WEP key to

 

 

all associated client devices every 15

 

 

minutes.

 

 

If you enter 0, you disable broadcast

 

 

WEP key rotation.

 

 

 

 

Accept Authentication Type

 

 

 

 

 

Open

From the list, select one of the following:

 

 

Yes—Allows any device, regardless of

 

 

its WEP keys, to authenticate and

 

 

attempt to associate. This is the

 

 

recommended setting.

 

 

No—Does not allow any device,

 

 

regardless of its WEP keys, to

 

 

authenticate and attempt to associate.

 

 

 

 

Shared

From the list, select one of the following:

 

 

Yes—Tells the access point to send a

 

 

plain-text, shared key query to any

 

 

device attempting to associate with the

 

 

access point. This query can leave the

 

 

access point open to a known-text attack

 

 

from intruders. This is not as secure as

 

 

the Open setting.

 

 

No—Does not allow the access point to

 

 

send a plain-text, shared key query to

 

 

any device attempting to associate with

 

 

the access point.
