WEP
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the WLAN Utility offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP, making your data transmission over air more secure. To activate the WEP Encryption, check the WEP Enabled check box. An Encryption window will then appear. The instructions are as follows:
ØPull down the Encryption (WEP) menu and select either 64bit or 128bit encryption method.
ØSpecify the encryption keys. There are two methods to set the WEP keys, as described below:
Create Encryption Keys by Using a Passphrase
To create encryption keys by using a passphrase, click the Create Key with Passphrase check box and type a character string in the Passphrase field. As you type, the utility uses an algorithm to generate 4 keys automatically. Select either the 64bit or 128bit encryption first, and type a string in the Create Key with Passphrase field. Select one key from the 4 WEP keys and click OK. Then click the Apply button on the Configuration tab to make the setting take effect.
