Configuring a Service Profile 241

The SSID type must be crypto (encrypted) for WEP to be used. If the SSID type is clear, wireless traffic is not encrypted, regardless of the encryption settings.

To configure WEP:

1Do one of the following:

„If you are configuring dynamic WEP, go to step 5.

„If you are configuring static WEP, go to the next step.

2To specify a WEP key, type the hexadecimal value of the key in one of the WEP key boxes.

The WEP key must be a 10-character ASCII string (representing a 5-digit hexadecimal number) or a 26-character ASCII string (representing a

13-digit hexadecimal number). ASCII characters in the following ranges are supported: 0 to 9, A to F, a to f.

3In the WEP Unicast Key Index box, specify the WEP key (1 to 4) to use when encrypting unicast frames.

For example, if you specified a value in the WEP Key 1 box and want to use that key when encrypting unicast frames, specify 1 in the WEP Unicast Key Index box.

4In the WEP Multicast Key Index box, specify the WEP key (1 to 4) to use when encrypting multicast/broadcast frames.

For example, if you specified a value in the WEP Key 3 box and want to use that key when encrypting multicast frames, specify 3 as the WEP Multicast Key Index box.

5To send a shared key to clients before the authentication process, select Shared Key Auth. Enabled. (Generally, this feature does not need to be enabled.)

6Do one of the following:

„If you are configuring a combination of WEP and WPA, go to “Configuring WPA or RSN”.

„To close the wizard and save the changes, click Finish.
