If you select WEP encryption, you should decide the encryption format from the pull-down list (ASCII or HEX format), and then input the WEP key in the code key box.
ASCII input format: ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value. All unaccented upper- and lower-case Western European characters that can be input through your keyboard's typing zone are valid. To setup a 64-bit WEP key, input 5 ASCII characters. For example, ‘12345’. To setup an 128-bit WEP key, input 13 ASCII characters. For example, ‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104 respectively; the camera will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
HEX input format: Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value in hexadecimal (base 16) notation. Only the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F (in upper or lower case) are valid. To setup a 64-bit WEP key, input 10 HEX format. For example, ‘3132333435’, which is the same with ASCII input ‘12345’. To setup an 128-bit WEP key, input 26 HEX format. For example, ‘31323334353637383930313233’, which is the same with ASCII input ‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; the camera will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
WPA is a special mode designed for home and small business users who do not have access to network authentication servers. In this mode, the user has to manually enter the starting password in their access point or gateway, as well as in each PC on the wireless network. Enter the name in the WPA-PSK (Share key) box, and this name must match the Pre-shared key value in the remote device.
