Description

This option is selected by default. If this option is selected, the other WEP settings on this page are disabled. To enter a custom WEP, de-select this option. The other fields become active.

Select this option to manually enter a WEP key to encrypt your data to the AP. You enter that key in the Key field below.

Select this option if your network does not support 802.1x authentication and you need to connect to the AP without username and password authentication. The key entered below is used to authenticate instead.

In this field, enter the WEP key:

ASCII - 5 or 13 characters

Hexadecimal - 10 or 26 characters.

When the key entered is in the correct format, the screen changes to display the type - ASCII or Hexadecimal.

The Key Index drop-down list contains the available keys. You may enter up to four keys for reception; the Client will try all four to find one that works with the AP.

From the drop-down list, select the key to be used for transmission as well. If the key selected is the transmit key, the Transmit key box is checked.

To change the transmit key, select another key and check the Transmit key box. The check box of the original transmit key will be automatically de-selected.
