User Manual for the NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter WPN111
A Passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key. If the wireless network Access Point uses a Passphrase, you can also use that here. Otherwise, you will have to manually enter the hexadecimal numbers.
WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________
The WEP Hexadecimal Numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used in the wireless network access point, but rather if the key is manually entered.
