5 Configure the KeyGuard Settings field as required to define the Pass Key used to generate the WEP
keys used with the KeyGuard algorithm. These keys must be the same between the access point and
its MU to encrypt packets between the two devices.
Default (hexadecimal) keys for KeyGuard include:
6 Select the Allow WEP128 Clients checkbox (from within the KeyGuard Mixed Mode field) to enable
WEP128 clients to associate with an access point’s KeyGuard supported WLAN. The WEP128 clients
must use the same keys as the KeyGuard clients to interoperate within the access point’s KeyGuard
supported WLAN.
7 Click the Apply button to save any changes made within the KeyGuard Setting field of the New
Security Policy screen.
Pass Key Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the
Generate button. The pass key can be any alphanumeric
string. The Altitude 35xx, other proprietary routers, and
Motorola MUs use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string
to the same hexadecimal number. MUs without Motorola
adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as
hexadecimal numbers.
Keys #1-4 Use the Key #1-4 areas to specify key numbers. The key
can be either a hexadecimal or ASCII depending on which
option is selected from the drop-down menu. The keys are
26 hexadecimal characters in length or 13 ASCII
characters. Select one of these keys for activation by
clicking its radio button.
