The WEP key is for 64-bit encrypted networks or
128-bit encrypted networks and can contain both
numbers and letters. If you do not know this
information you should see the documentation
provided with your access point or wireless router.
This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be
entered in an ASCII or HEXADECIMAL format.
For example:
64-bit
Uses 5 text characters.
ASCII:
e.g. “Hello” (this is case sensitive)
64-bit
Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data.
Hexadecimal: e.g. “71f2234aba”
128-bit
Uses 13 text characters.
ASCII:
e.g. “Wirelesscomms”
(this is case sensitive)
128-bit
Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data.
Hexadecimal:
e.g.“71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa3ba”
WPA-PSK enables a Protected Access Pre-shared
key that allows the Brother wireless machine to
associate with access points using TKIP and AES
encryption. WPA-PSK uses a Pre-Shared Key that
is 8 or more characters in length, up to a
maximum of 63 characters.
Cisco®LEAP has been developed by Cisco
Systems, Inc. which uses user ID and password
for authentication. The LEAP User ID is up to a
maximum of 63 characters in length, and the
Password is up to a maximum of 31 characters in
length.
