8.The Security Settings screen (Figure 5-7) will appear next. From this screen, you will set the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption for your wireless network. Select a WEP configuration method and a passphrase. Click the Next button to continue or Back to return to the pre- vious page.

•WEP (Disable/64-bit (10 hex digits)/128-bit 26 hex digits). In order to utilize WEP encryption, select the WEP setting from the pull-down menu, 64-bit (10 hex digits) or 128-bit (26 hex digits). If you do not wish to utilize WEP encryption, make sure Disabled is selected. The Access Point’s WEP encryption is unique to Linksys and may conflict with other vendors’ WEP encryption.

•Passphrase. Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase. This Passphrase is used to generate one or more WEP keys. It is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric char- acters. (The Passphrase function is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. If you want to communicate with non-Linksys wireless products, you will need to enter your WEP keys manually on the non- Linksys wireless products.)

9.The second Security Settings screen, shown in Figure 5-8, shows the WEP key. If you entered a passphrase, then the Key 1 field will display the auto- matically generated WEP key. If you did not enter a passphrase, then enter a WEP key in the Key 1 field. Each point in your wireless network must use the same WEP key for the network to function properly. Click the Next but- ton to continue or Back to return to the previous page.

•Key 1. WEP keys enable you to create an encryption scheme for wire- less LAN transmissions. If the WEP key hasn’t been automatically gen- erated, then manually enter a set of values. (Do not leave the field blank, and do not enter all zeroes. These are not valid key values.) If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then each key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryp- tion, then each key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.
