SSID	Select the SSID for which you want to configure the security.
Security Mode	Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.

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

	“key”. This key is requested from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless
	network.
WEP Encryption	Select 64-bits or 128-bits.
	This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
Authentication	Select Auto or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.
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
	NBG4615 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.
Hex	Select this option in order to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.
