Description

Use the drop-down list here to select one of the Key Content fields below (Key 1, Key 2, etc). A maximum of four different Keys (1, 2, 3, or 4) are available, the number of keys is determined by what is selected in the ESS Authentication and Encryption Status field.

The Key selected here must match the Key in the client. For example, if you select Key 1 here you have to select Key 1 for the client.

The default is 1.

Enter Key content in these fields. The Key Content format is selected in the Key Input Method field.

For the key content, the phrase is auto-generated by the password entered in the Pass Phrase field. For non-Motorola clients, you will use these Keys (and not Pass Phrase) when using WEP for security. The Key will not automatically fill in until you have clicked Apply.

If you have selected Hexadecimal or ASCII formatting (in the Key Input Method field), you can then enter your own Hexadecimal or ASCII keys. To enter keys manually, you must have WEP64 or WEP128 selected in the Encryption Status field.

!For WEP64 keys, 5 case sensitive ASCII characters are allowed or 10 hexadecimal characters (using only characters 0-9 and A-F)

!For WEP128 keys, 13 case sensitive ASCII characters are allowed or 26 hexadecimal characters (using only characters 0-9 and A-F)

If entering a key manually, don’t leave a key field blank or enter all 0’s. These are not secure keys.
