Mitsubishi Electronics A101 user manual Site Survey

• 64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method and can interoperate on wireless networks. This lower level of WEP encryption uses a 40-bit (10 hexadecimal digits assigned by the user) secret key and a 24-bit Initialisation Vector assigned by the wireless LAN adaptor. 104-bit and 128-bit WEP keys also use the same encryption method.

•After assigning the WEP keys, click APPLY to save and activate the encryption. Manually assigned encryptions are more secure than automatically generated encryptions.

•Use Manual Assignment instead of Automatic Generation if you are not sure whether other wireless clients use the same algorithm as that of the Wireless LAN adaptor.

•Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys.
