FIELD

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

 

communicate with the Access Points without any data encryption.

 

 

Select 64-bit WEP1 or 128-bit WEP to allow data encryption. Although

 

 

WEP is functional at 5.5 and 11 Mbps, there is significant performance

 

 

degradation when using WEP at these rates.

 

Default Key

This allows you to select one WEP key as an active key to encrypt

N/A / 1/2/3/4

 

wireless data transmission.

 

Key1 to Key4

If you choose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 characters (ASCII string)

********

 

or 10 hexadecimals digits (“0-9”, “A-F”) preceded by 0x for each Key

 

 

(1-4).

 

 

If you choose 128-bit WEP, then enter any 13 characters (ASCII

 

 

string) or 26 hexadecimals digits (“0-9”, “A-F”) preceded by 0x for

 

 

each Key (1-4).

 

 

There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from being

 

 

eavesdropped by unauthorized wireless users. The values must be

 

 

set up exactly the same on the Access Points as they are on the

 

 

wireless client stations. The same value must be assigned to Key 1

 

 

on both the Access Point and the client adapters, the same value

 

 

must be assigned to Key 2 on both the Access Point and the client

 

 

stations and so on, for all four WEP keys.

 

When you have completed this menu, press [Enter] at the prompt [Press ENTER to Confirm…] to save your configuration, or press [Esc] at any time to cancel.
