WEP
Keys
You
can
specify
up
to
four
WEP
keys.
In
each
text
box,
enter
a
string
of
characters
for
each
key.
The
keys
you
enter
depend
on
the
key
type
selected:
• ASCII
—
Includes
upper
and
lower
case
alphabetic
letters,
the
numeric
digits,
and
special
symbols
such
as
@
and
#.
• Hex
—
Includes
digits
0
to
9
and
the
letters
A
to
F.
Use
the
same
number
of
characters
for
each
key
as
specified
in
the
Characters
Required
field.
These
are
the
RC4
WEP
keys
shared
with
the
stations
using
the
AP.
Each
client
station
must
be
configured
to
use
one
of
these
same
WEP
keys
in
the
same
slot
as
specified
here
on
the
AP.
Characters
Required:
The
number
of
characters
you
enter
into
the
WEP
Key
fields
is
determined
by
the
Key
length
and
Key
type
you
select.
For
example,
if
you
use
128
‐
bit
ASCII
keys,
you
must
enter
26
characters
in
the
WEP
key.
The
number
of
characters
required
updates
automatically
based
on
how
you
set
Key
Length
and
Key
Type.
Authentication
The
authentication
algorithm
defines
the
method
used
to
determine
whether
a
client
station
is
allowed
to
associate
with
an
AP
when
static
WEP
is
the
security
mode.
Specify
the
authentication
algorithm
you
want
to
use
by
choosing
one
of
the
following
options:
•
Open
System
authentication
allows
any
client
station
to
associate
with
the
AP
whether
that
client
station
has
the
correct
WEP
key
or
not.
This
algorithm
is
also
used
in
plaintext,
IEEE
802.1X,
and
WPA
modes.
When
the
authentication
algorithm
is
set
to
Open
System,
any
client
can
associate
with
the
AP.
Note:
Just
because
a
client
station
is
allowed
to
associate
does
not
ensure
it
can
exchange
traffic
with
an
AP.
A
station
must
have
the
correct
WEP
key
to
be
able
to
successfully
access
and
decrypt
data
from
an
AP,
and
to
transmit
readable
data
to
the
AP.
•
Shared
Key
authentication
requires
the
client
station
to
have
the
correct
WEP
key
in
order
to
associate
with
the
AP.
When
the
authentication
algorithm
is
set
to
Shared
Key,
a
station
with
an
incorrect
WEP
key
will
not
be
able
to
associate
with
the
AP.
•
Both
Open
System
and
Shared
Key
.
When
you
select
both
authentication
algorithms:
– Client
stations
configured
to
use
WEP
in
shared
key
mode
must
have
a
valid
WEP
key
in
order
to
associate
with
the
AP.
– Client
stations
configured
to
use
WEP
as
an
open
system
(shared
key
mode
not
enabled)
will
be
able
to
associate
with
the
AP
even
if
they
do
not
have
the
correct
WEP
key.
