Security Mode

PassPhrase

Enter a passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click Generate.

 

A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further converted by

 

the WAP3205 v2 into a complicated string that is referred to as the “key”. This key is

 

requested from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless network.

 

 

WEP Encryption

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP.

 

This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.

 

 

Authentication

Select Open or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.

Method

This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to log into the

 

 

wireless network. Keep this setting at Open unless you want to force a key verification

 

before communication between the wireless client and the ZyXEL Device occurs.

 

Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to communication.

 

 

ASCII

Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
