¾Encryption Mode:

WEP-Key:WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) relies on a secret key that is shared between a mobile station and a base station (Access Point).

WEP-Passphrase:the Passphrase in the dialog box helps you to create a group of WEP key in the Key Setting.

¾Authentication Mode:

Open System: with the same WEP key between the stations, the stations don’t need to be authenticated, and this algorithm was set to default.

Shared Key: with the same WEP key between the stations in this Authentication algorithm, this type will use packets with encryption by transferring a challenge text which will be acknowledge by both side of the stations. In order to choose which authentication algorithm will be used, you must know which one the station supports this algorithm first.

It is recommended to select “Auto” if you are not familiar with the setting.
