When entering hexadecimal values, the number of required characters for a
key will double. For a WEP64 key, 10 hexadecimal numbers have to be
entered, 26 for WEP128, and 32 characters for WEP152. With alpha-numeric
input (ASCII), the WEP keys consist accordingly of 5, 13 or 16 characters.
Numerous Wireless LAN devices of other manufacturers only accept hexade-
cimal values as WEP keys or may generate even special characters from arbi-
trary passwords.
Therefore if may happen that that you cannot enter a WEP key into a device
of another manufacturer, which your
AirLancer
accepts without any problem.
In such a case it is advisable to use the key of the more inflexible device for
the connection.
4.4.3
Sliding key change
For infrastructure networks you can enter up to four keys into the key list of a
base station. A simple exchange of the keys is facilitated this way. In this
case, the base station accepts each one of the up to four entered keys. As
soon as all stations are changed, the old keys can be deleted from the list.
The sliding key change of a base station must not be mixed up with the four
possible WEP key entries of an AirLancer client adapter. Concerning the Air-
Lancer, always only one key is active, i.e. the currently selected one.
One of the base station’s keys must be present in all involved clients.
