5.Specify a 4 to 32 character Pass Key and click the Generate button.
The pass key can be any alphanumeric string. The switch and Motorola MUs use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal number. MUs without Motorola adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as hexadecimal numbers.
6.Use the Key
The key can be either a hexadecimal or ASCII. The keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length or 13 ASCII characters. Select one of these keys for activation by clicking its radio button.
Default (hexadecimal) keys for WEP 128 and KeyGuard include:
Key 1 | 101112131415161718191A1B1C |
Key 2 | 202122232425262728292A2B2C |
Key 3 | 303132333435363738393A3B3C |
Key 4 | 404142434445464748494A4B4C |
7.If you feel it necessary to restore the WEP algorithm back to its default settings, click the Restore Default WEP Keys button. This may be the case if you feel the latest defined WEP algorithm has been compromised and longer provides its former measure of data security.
8.Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.
9.Click OK to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
