If the Key Type is set to ASCII, the security keys are four 5-digit keys for the 64-bit WEP setting and four 13-digit keys for the 128-bit WEP setting.

WEP security protects your wireless LAN against eavesdropping and unauthorized access by hackers or intruders.

Default Key – Choose the Key ID that has the encryption string you prefer. If you are using a key generated from the passphrase, you must use the same passphrase and key on each station.

Passphrase – If Passphrase is checked, security keys for WEP encryption are generated from your passphrase string. If encryption is set to 128 bit, only Key 1 is generated. If encryption is set to 64 bit , Keys 1-4 are generated. You must use the same passphrase on all the other stations in your network.

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

After entering the passphrase, click Apply.
