Setup (continued)
WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy): An industry standard encryption technology
used by wireless devices. When using WEP, you must determine the level of
encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption
requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in
a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-, A-F) or ASCII (American
Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format.
ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember.
The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can
be defined so that you can change keys easily. A default key is selected for
use on the network.
There are five options configurable under this setting, Disable, 64-bit Hex, 128-
bit Hex, 64-bit ASCII, and 128-bit ASCII. To toggle between the options, press
the
ENTER
button when WEP is highlighted. The
up arrow
and
down arrow
will toggle between the three options. Press
ENTER
again to select.
Key Index:
Select a number between 1 and 4. To toggle between the options,
press the
ENTER
button when Key Index is highlighted. The
up arrow
and
down arrow
will toggle between the four. Press
ENTER
again to select.
Key
: To connect to an encrypted wireless device, the key you enter here must
match the key of the device exactly. Press the
ENTER
button on the remote
control with this field highlighted to enter a key. The on-screen keyboard will be
displayed and you can enter the key.
Key Types and Examples:
64-bit Hex
: Keys are exactly 10 characters in length.
Example: 12345678FA is a valid string of 10 characters for 64-bit encryption.
128-bit Hex
: Keys are exactly characters in length.
Example: FBCDF100110 is a valid string of characters
for 128-bit encryption.
64-bit ASCII:
Keys are exactly characters in length.
Example: DMODE is a valid string of 5 characters for 64-bit encryption.
128-bit ASCII:
Keys are exactly 1 characters in length.
Example: 2005PIECAKES1 is a valid string of 13 characters for 128-bit
encryption.
