CONFIGURATION | SECTION 3 |
|
|
The following table describes the encryption status and the fields that become active with that encryption status:
Encryption Status
WEP
Description
Select the same encryption that is used by your access point.
Passphrase | Some access points/wireless |
| clients can use a passphrase |
| instead of WEP keys. The |
| passphrase automatically |
| generates the WEP keys. |
| The passphrase should be 8 to |
| 63 characters long. |
| If you use a passphrase, you |
| need to make sure that the WEP |
| keys generated by that |
| passphrase match the keys on |
| the access point. |
| If your wireless router/wireless |
| access point is a Motorola |
| product, the same passphrase |
| will generate the same WEP |
| keys. |
|
|
Transmit | There are four available WEP |
Key | keys. By setting the transmit key, |
| you can specify which key |
| (1 to 4) to use to encrypt the |
| wireless packets. This is also |
| known as the key index on some |
| access points. |
| Key 1 | The key used for packet |
|
| through | encryption. If WEP | |
| Key 4 | encryption is selected, then this | |
|
| field requires ten characters. If | |
|
| WEP | |
|
| selected, then 26 characters are | |
|
| required. The key must be in | |
|
| hexadecimal format. | |
|
| You may have to manually enter | |
|
| the key if the passphrase | |
|
| generates WEP keys that do not | |
|
| match the wireless | |
|
| router/wireless access point. | |
