Motorola 7.7.4 manual Examples

WEP - Manual allows you to enter your own encryption keys manually. This is a difficult process, but only needs to be done once. Avoid the temptation to enter all the same char- acters.

Encryption Key Size #1 – #4: Selects the length of each encryption key. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption and the more difficult it is to break the encryption.

Encryption Key #1 – #4: The encryption keys. You enter keys using hexadecimal digits. For 40/64bit encryption, you need ten digits; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58 digits for 256bit WEP. Hexadecimal characters are 0 – 9, and a – f.

Examples:

•40bit: 02468ACE02

•128bit: 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789

•256bit: 592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F21A09C

Use WEP encryption key (1 – 4) #: Specifies which key the Gateway will use to encrypt transmitted traffic. The default is key #1.

Click the click Save Changes button.

Any WEP-enabled client must have an identical key of the same length as the Router, in order to successfully receive and decrypt the traffic. Similarly, the client also has a ‘default’ key that it uses to encrypt its transmissions. In order for the Router to receive the client’s data, it must likewise have the identical key of the same length.
