Transfer Key Index	Select a key index. Key indexes 1 through 4 are available. The default is 1.
	The transfer key index indicates which WEP key the access point will use to encrypt
	the data it transmits.
Key Length	Specify one of the following lengths for the key:
	•	64 bits
	•	128 bits
Key Type	Select one of the following key types:
	•	ASCII
	•	Hex
Characters Required	Indicates the number of characters required in the WEP key.
	The number is updated automatically based on how you set Key Length and Key
	Type.
WEP Keys	You can specify up to four WEP keys. In each text box, enter a string of characters
	for one key.
	If you selected ASCII, enter any combination of integers and letters 0-9, a-z, and
	A-Z.
	If you selected HEX, enter hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9and a-for
	A-F).
	Use the same number of characters for each key as specified in the Characters
	Required field. These are the RC4 WEP keys shared with the stations using the
	access point.
	Each client must be configured to use one of these same WEP keys in the same
	slot as specified here on the access point. (See “Rules to Remember for Static
	WEP” on page 111.)
