Key entry - This field can be set to “passphrase” or “manual Entry”. Select “Entry”. The “passphrase” means the key elements will be auto generated by the internal algorithym according the string defined in the passphrase field. The “Manual Entry” means the key elements allow/need user key in by manually. (2 hexadecimal digitals in each block)

Passphrase - The security key for WEP encryption is generated from your Passphrase string, so it should be the same as all the otherstations in your network.

64-Bit manual Entry:

Key1-4- each key ID contains 10 HEX digits. All wireless devices must have the same key ID elements values to communicate.

Key ID - Choose the Key ID that has the encryption string you prefer. All wireless devices must have the same Key ID element values to communicate.

Key 1 - Key ID value contains 26 HEX digits. All wireless devices must have the same key ID element values to communicate.

With DHCP “ON”, the IP address and subnet are set automatically. If you want to set these yourself, enter a new IP address and subnet mask in the “New settings” section of the “TCP/IP settings” screen, then click on “Apply”.
