Auth Method
The wireless authentication scheme.

Open (the default). This option allows all devices that have the
authentication algorithm number for open system to authenticate.

Shared . This option enables a four step authentication process using
secure or encrypted text by means of WEP.
WEP Key Format

This is the encryption strength. The options are 40 Bits and 128 Bits; 40 bits
are weaker and 128 bits are stronger.

menus will not display.
The factory default is 128 bits.
WEP Key BYTE1 through BYTE13
These are the individual characters of the encryption key.

This feature enables you to encrypt (scramble) information for security

ASCII or hexadecimal format, and in either 40 or 128 bits. (The more bits you
choose, the more difficult it will be to decode the information.)
NOTE: None of the WEP Key Configuration menus display on the
configuration printout.
