Gateway 7001 Series manual 133

Association Tab	Network Authentication	Open or Shared, depending on how you configured
		this option on the access point.
		Note: When the Authentication Algorithm on the
		access point is set to Both, clients set to either
		Shared or Open can associate with the AP. Clients
		configured to use WEP in Shared mode must have
		a valid WEP key in order to associate with the AP.
		Clients configured to use WEP as an Open system
		can associate with the AP even without a valid WEP
		key (but a valid key will be required to actually view
		and exchange data). For more information, see
		Administrators Guide and Online Help on the
		access point.
	Data Encryption	WEP
	Network Key	Provide the WEP key you entered on the access
		point Security settings in the Transfer Key Index
		position.
		For example, if the Transfer Key Index on the access
		point is set to 1, then for the client Network Key
		specify the WEP Key you entered as WEP Key 1
		on the access point.
	Key Index	Set key index to indicate which of the WEP keys
		specified on the access point Security page will be
		used to transfer data from the client back to the
		access point. For example, you can set this to 1, 2,
		3, or 4 if you have all four WEP keys configured on
		the access point.

Connecting to the wireless network with a static WEP client

Static WEP clients should now be able to associate and authenticate with the access point. As a client, you will not be prompted for a WEP key. The WEP key configured on the client security settings is automatically used when you connect.
