The number of characters required updates automatically based on how you
set Key Length and Key Type.
WEP Keys You can specify up to four WEP keys. In each text box, type a string of
characters for each key.
If you selected ASCII , type any combination of numbers and letters 0-9, a-z,
and AZ.
If you selected HEX , type hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9 and

Each client station must be configured to use one of these same WEP keys
in the same slot as specified here on the AP. (See
“Rules to Remember for
Static WEP” on page 91 .)
