WEP Data Privacy

Off	If OFF (default), data is NOT encrypted before being transmitted.
64 Bit	•	If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before being
Encryption		transmitted. The receiving station must be set to 64 Bit Encryption,
		and have the same Key value in the same position in its key table.
		Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.
	•	Default Key
		Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is
		ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys are for
		decryption only.
	•	Key Table
		• This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All
		stations, including this Access Point, always transmit data en-
		crypted using their default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is
		also transmitted. The receiving station will use the key number
		(1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which key value to use for decryption.
		If the key value does not match the transmitting station, decryp-
		tion will fail.
		• The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have every
		Station, including the Access Point, use the same key table (all
		entries identical). Then, it does not matter which key is used as
		the default key.
128 Bit	•	If selected, data is encrypted using the key before being transmitted.
Encryption		The receiving station must be set to use 128 Bit Encryption, and
		have the same Key value. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt
		the data.
	•	Key
		Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have the
		same key.
WEP	Select the appropriate value - "Open System" or "Shared Key". Check
Authentication	your Wireless card's documentation to see what method to use. Some
	Wireless cards do not support both methods.
