Wireless Data Encryption
To provide the highest level of security to wireless data transmitted via your
network, you can use the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption.
WEP data encryption uses 5-character encryption keys, based on the RC4
encryption algorithm, that will be used to encrypt/decrypt all data transmitted
via the wireless interface.
You can specify up to 4 different keys to decrypt wireless data, and select one of
the specified decryption key values to encrypt wireless data.
