256-bit WEP - 256-bit WEP requires one or more keys, each key comprising 29
hexadecimal pairs. A hexadecimal digit consists of an alphanumeric character
ranging from 0-9 or A-F. To create a 256-bit WEP key, activate Key 1 by clicking
in the appropriate circle, select “256 bit” from the drop-down list on the right,
then enter 29 hexadecimal digit pairs in the Key text box. After activating 256-bit
WEP, a computer with wireless capability can join the network only if this key is
entered in the computer’s wireless encryption scheme.
Note: Not all wireless PC Cards support 128- or 256-bit WEP. Ensure all PC Cards
installed in the networked computers support 128- or 256-bit WEP before
activating.
