When WEP is selected for Mode
1
If “WEP” is selected as the Mode, for the “Auth Algorithm”,
Select “Auto”, “Open System”, or “Pre-shared Key” using the keys of the
key .
2
Select “WEP bits” and “Default Key Id”.
For the “WEP bits”, select “64 bits”, “128 bits”, or “256 bits” using the keys of
the key.
For the “Default Key Id”, Select “1”, “2”, “3”, or “4” using the keys of the
key.
3
Input the WEP key as hexadecimal or alphanumeric. (Refer to the equivalence chart
below)
Bit Hexadecimal Alphanumeric
256 bits 58 characters 29 characters
128 bits 26 characters 13 characters
64 bits 10 characters 5 characters
Encryption Bit Length
Hexadecimal (0 – 9, a – f)
Alphanumeric
128 bits 26 characters 13 characters
Input example 31:31:31:31:31:31:31:31:31:31:31:31:31 1111111111111
64 bits 10 characters 5 characters
Input example 31:31:31:31:31 11111
If the WEP key (hexadecimal, alphanumeric) that is input does not fill up
the character count specified in the encryption bit length, the WEP key is
generated by padding the hexadecimal number with additional zeros.
The longer the encryption bit length, the stronger the security.
Finally, set using the
key.
