Configuring Wireless Encryption

The AWK-1200-AP supports 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption.

For 64-bitWEP encryption, an encryption key consists 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters.

For 128-bitWEP encryption, an encryption key consists of 26 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F) or 13 ASCII characters.

Modify the WEP encryption parameters on the web page “/BASIC/WIRELESS/WIRELESS SECURITY MODE”. If you choose “WEP” enter 1 to 15 characters in the WEP Key field, and then click Save Setting, Reboot the Device.
