You can choose 64-bitor 128-bitaccording to your needs. If you choose Disabled, the Network Keys will not be shown on this page. If selected, the data is encrypted using the key before being transmitted. For example, if you set 128-bit in this field, then the receiving station must be set to use the128 Bit Encryption, and have the same Key value too. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.

(Note: You need to connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of your computer, and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the Wireless Voice Gateway. )

￿If you select WEP (64-bitor 128-bit), you can adjust the following settings-

￿Shared Key Authentication : Decide whether to set the shared key Optional or Required by selecting from the drop-down menu.

￿Network Key 1 to 4 : The system allows you to enter four sets of the WEP key. For 64-bitWEP mode, the key length is 5 characters or 10 hexadecimal digits. As for 128-bitWEP mode, the key length is 13 characters or 26 hexadecimal digits.

￿Current Network Key : Select one set of the network key (from 1 to 4) as the default one.

￿PassPhrase : You can enter ASCII codes into this field. The range is from 8 characters to 64 characters. For ASCII characters, you can key in 63 characters in this field. If you want to key in 64 characters, only hexadecimal characters can be used.
