Set up a Client with WEP 64-bit or WEP 128-bit Data Encryption

When WEP data encryption is enabled, a network key or password is used for encryption.

A network key is provided for you automatically (for example, it might be provided by your wireless network adapter manufacturer), or you can enter it yourself and specify the key length (64- or 128-bit), key format (ASCII characters or hexadecimal digits), and key index (the location where a specific key is stored). The greater the key length, the more secure the key.

To add a network key for an Infrastructure network connection:

1.On the Intel PROSet/Wireless main window, double-click an Infrastructure network in the Wireless Networks list or select the network and click Connect.

NOTE: Infrastructure networks are identified with an access point image () in the Wireless Networks and Profiles list.

2.Click Profiles to access the Profiles list.

3.Click Properties to open the Wireless Profile Properties' General Settings. The Profile name and Wireless Network Name (SSID) display. Network (Infrastructure) should be selected as the Operating Mode.

To add a password or network key:

1.Security Settings: Select either WEP 64-bitor WEP 128-bitto configure WEP data encryption with a 64- or 128-bit key.

When WEP encryption is enabled on an access point, the WEP key is used to verify access to the network. If the wireless device does not have the correct WEP key, even though authentication is successful, the device is unable to transmit data through the access point or decrypt data received from the access point.

2.Password: Enter the Wireless Security Password (Pass phrase) or Encryption Key (WEP key).

❍Pass phrase (64-bit):Enter five (5) alphanumeric characters, 0-9, a-z or A-Z.
