64 Bit | ∙ If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before |
| being transmitted. The receiving station must be set to 64 |
| Bit Encryption, and have the same Key value in the same |
| position in its key table. Otherwise, it will not be able to de- |
| crypt the data. |
| ∙ Default Key - select the key you wish to be the default. |
| Transmitted data is ALWAYS encrypted using the Default |
| Key; the other Keys are for decryption only. |
| Key Table: |
| This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All |
| stations, including this Access Point, always transmit data en- |
| crypted using their default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is |
| also transmitted. The receiving station will use the key number |
| (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which key value to use for decryption. If |
| the key value does not match the transmitting station, decryp- |
| tion will fail. |
| The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have |
| every Station, including the Access Point, use the same key |
| table (all entries identical). Then, it does not matter which key is |
| used as the default key. |
|
|
128 Bit | If selected, data is encrypted using the key before being trans- |
| mitted. The receiving station must be set to use 128 Bit Encryp- |
| tion, and have the same Key value. Otherwise, it will not be able |
| to decrypt the data. |

WEP Authenti- | Options are "Open System" or "Shared Key". |
