The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption method
encrypts data before it is transmitted. Access to the
network is denied to users who do not have the
required WEP keys. When the WEP security mode is in
use, and your device receives a data packet not
encrypted with the WEP keys, the data is discarded.
In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same
WEP key.
Select WLAN security settings and from the following:
•WEP key in use — Select the desired WEP key.
•Authentication type — Select Open or Shared.
•WEP key settings — Edit the settings for the WEP
key.
WEP key settings
In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same

Select WLAN security settings > WEP key settings
and from the following:
•WEP encryption — Select the desired WEP
encryption key length.
•WEP key format — Select whether you want to
enter the WEP key data in ASCII or Hexadecimal

•WEP key — Enter the WEP key data.
802.1x security settings
Select 802.1x as the WLAN security mode.
802.1x authenticates and authorises devices to access
a wireless network, and prevents access if the
authorisation process fails.
Select WLAN security settings and from the following:
•WPA/WPA2 — Select EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol) or Pre-shared key (a
secret key used for device identification).
•EAP plug-in settings — If you selected WPA/
WPA2 > EAP, select which EAP plug-ins defined in
your device to use with the access point.
•Pre-shared key — If you selected WPA/WPA2 >
Pre-shared key, enter the shared private key that
identifies your device to the WLAN to which you
connect.
