If you use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set the same parameters for the ADSL Wireless Base Station and all your wireless clients.

Parameter	Description
WEP Mode	Select 64 bit or 128 bit key to use for encryption.
Key Entry Method	Select Hex or ASCII code for encryption key generation.
Key Provisioning	Select Static if there is only one fixed key for encryption.
	If you want to select Dynamic, you would need to enable 802.1x function first.
Key Provisioning	Select Static if there is only one fixed key for encryption.

You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the keys. To generate the key automatically with passphrase, check the Passphrase box, enter a string of characters. Select the default key from the drop down menu. Click ‘SAVE SETTINGS’.

Note: The passphrase can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

To manually configure the encryption key, enter five hexadecimal pairs of digits for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key.

(A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.)

Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.
