SMC Networks SMC2582W-B manual MAC-Address-Based Access Control

algorithm setting is provided for better compatibility with wireless client computers with various WLAN network adapters.There are three options available, including Open System, Shared Key, and Auto.

When WEP is enabled by a security mode, the Key length can be specified to be 64 Bits or 128 Bits. The Selected key setting specifies the key to be used as a send-key for encrypting traffic from the local device side to the remote device side. All 4 WEP keys are used as receive-keys to decrypt traffic from the remote device side to the local device side.

NOTE: Each field of a WEP key setting is a hex-decimal number from 0-9, A-F. For example, when the security mode is Static WEP and the key length is 64 Bits, you could set Key 1 to “00012E3ADF”.
