LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Authenticatio	There are two types of WEP authentication namely, Open System and
n Method	Shared Key.
	Open system is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not an
	issue. The wireless station and the AP or peer computer do not share a
	secret key. Thus the wireless stations can associate with any AP or peer
	computer and listen to any transmitted data that is not encrypted.
	Shared key mode involves a shared secret key to authenticate the wireless
	station to the AP or peer computer. This requires you to enable the
	wireless LAN security and use same settings on both the wireless station
	and the AP or peer computer.
	• Select Shared Key to have the NBG-460N authenticate only those
	wireless clients that use Shared Key mode and have the correct WEP
	key.
	• Select Auto to have the NBG-460N allow association with wireless
	clients that use Open System mode. Data transfer is encrypted as long
	as the wireless client has the correct WEP key for encryption. The NBG-
	460N authenticates wireless clients using Shared Key mode that have
	the correct WEP key.
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.
	The preceding "0x", that identifies a hexadecimal key, is entered
	automatically.
Key 1 to Key	The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the NBG-460N and the
4	wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
	If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10
	hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
	If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26
	hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
	You must configure at least one key, only one key can be activated at any
	one time. The default key is key 1.
