Before performing step 7, consider the following:

•If all of your wireless adapters support 128-bit encryption, you can select Enable 128 Bit. Otherwise, you must select Enable 64 Bit.

•For a WLAN client equipped with a Motorola wireless adapter, you can enter the WEP Passphrase when you perform Configuring a Wireless Client for WEP. For all other wireless adapters, you will probably need to enter the generated WEP key that you designate in step 7.

7Under WEP CONFIGURATION, set:

WEP	Sets whether shared key authentication is enabled to provide data privacy on the WLAN:
Authentication	• Open System — Any WLAN client can transmit data to any other client without
	authentication. It is the default, if the Security Mode is set to WEP.
	• Shared Key — The SBG900 authenticates and transfers data to and from all clients having
	shared key authentication enabled. We recommend this setting.
Encryption	Use a WEP key length that is compatible with your wireless client adapters. Choose one of:
	• Enable 64-Bit — Use only if you have wireless clients that do not support 128-bit encryption
	• Enable 128-Bit — We recommend this setting for stronger encryption; it is supported by the
	Motorola WN825G and WPCI810G wireless adapters and most current wireless adapters

Key 1 to Key 4 Select the active key (1 to 4). Only one key can be active. You can generate WEP keys from a passphrase as described in steps 4 to 6 or type non-case-sensitive hexadecimal characters 0 to 9 and A to F to define up to:

•Four 10-character long key 64-bit WEP keys

•Four 26-character long 128-bit WEP keys

We recommend changing the WEP keys frequently. Never provide the WEP key to anyone who is not authorized to use your WLAN.

8Click Save Changes to save your changes.

If you need to restore the wireless defaults, click Reset Wireless Defaults.
