Figure 30. Configuration/Encryption

The default setting is Disabled and initially the key sections are blank.

The pull-down Method box lists three options:

Disabled (default) - Disable data encryption

40-bit WEP - Enable use of 40-bit WEP

128-bit WEP - Enable use of 128-bit WEP

Key Generation - There are two ways to generate a security key. The first is by entering any text in the Passphrase field. Click the Generate button. For 40-bit WEP, it will generate four keys, Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, and Key 4. Select a key number from the dropdown list of the Default Key box. If you do not manually select a key, key 1 will be selected. For 128-bit WEP, only one key will be generated. Click OK.
