7-4 Getting Started Guide

The pull-down menu for enabling WEP offers three settings: Off, On - Automatic, and On - Manual. You are strongly encouraged to enable WEP encryption on your wireless LAN.

Off provides no encryption on your wireless LAN data.

Enter a phrase and hit Enter to generate your encryption keys.

On - Automatic is a passphrase generator. You enter a passphrase that you choose in the Passphrase field. The passphrase can be any string of words or numbers.

Note: While clients may also have a passphrase feature, these are vendor-specific and may not necessarily create the same keys. You can passphrase generate a set of keys on one, and manually enter them on the other to get around this.

Select the Default Key (#1 – #4). The longer the key, the stronger the encryption and the more difficult it is to break the encryption.
