•WEP Authentication Type. WEP can be authenticated using Open System or Automatic. If
set to Open System, clients can only associate to the wireless access point by using the Open
System option. If set to Automatic, clients can associate to the wireless access point using both
Open System and Shared Key. Setting the Authentication Type to Automatic will detect which
WEP authentication method is being used. The default is Automatic.
• Use of Passphrases and Keys are explained below:

the Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must match the

used to decrypt received data.
