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

 

converted by the WAP3205 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.

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

 

 

use.

 

 

Authenticatio

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

n Method

This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP

 

 

key to login to the wireless client. Keep this setting at Auto unless you

 

want to force a key verification before communication between the

 

wireless client and the WAP3205 occurs.

 

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

 

communication.
