Key Type

Encryption Key

 

A passphrase of more than 20 characters is recommended. Maximum length

 

is 63 characters, including spaces and punctuation characters.

 

Passphrase input is not the same as ASCII input. The passphrase input is

 

safer because it has up to 63 characters. ASCII input has a maximum of

 

5 (WEP64) or 13 (WEP128) bytes and limits the number of key

 

combinations.

Please refer to the other equipment’s manual to determine the passphrase input style recommended.

TX Key index selects the WEP key used for transmissions. Enter a value between 1 and 4. The default setting is 1. In case the WEP key is entered in hex, all keys (1-4) are the same. In case the WEP key is entered as a passphrase, the four WEP keys are generated according to the Linksys algorithms and will be different.

WPA

This firmware version allows only Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) for authentication.

Select Y (Yes) at the Display current key prompt to show the currently configured key/passphrase,

Select Y (Yes) at the Change key prompt to be able to modify the currently configured key by selecting Y (Yes).

The Key type requests whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase format. The default setting is Passphrase.

Enter key prompts for the new passphrase or hexadecimal key.

Key Type

Encryption Key

Hex

Enter the Encryption Key as a hexadecimal value according the following

 

guidelines:

 

‹ Valid hex alphanumeric characters are 0-9 and A-F.

 

‹ 64 bit hex = 5 bytes represented as xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.

 

Example: 01-A3-47-E5-C9

 

‹ 128 bit hex = 13 bytes represented as xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-

 

xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.

 

Example: A1-B2-C3-E4-D5-F6-98-74-B7-65-A8-D3-F2

Passphrase

Enter the key as a string. A passphrase is a sentence that is translated into

 

hex by a hashing algorithm.

 

Example: My dog has spots and likes to chase cats.

 

A passphrase of more than 20 characters is recommended. Maximum length

 

is 63 characters, including spaces and punctuation characters.
