Wireless Encryption Level - In order to use WEP encryption, select
64Bit
or
128Bit
.
•
Passphrase - Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase. This Passphrase is
used to generate one or more WEP keys. It is case-sensitive and should have no more than 16
alphanumeric characters. (The Passphrase function is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. If
you want to communicate with non-Linksys wireless products, you will need to enter your WEP key
manually on the non-Linksys wireless products.) After you enter the Passphrase, click the
Generate
button to create WEP key(s).
•
Active Key - Select which WEP key (1-4) will be used when the Media Link sends data. Make sure the
other wireless-equipped devices are using the same key.
•
WEP Keys 1-4 - If you are not using a Passphrase, then you can enter one or more WEP keys manually. In
each key field, manually enter a set of values. (Do not leave a key field blank, and do not enter all zeroes.
These are not valid key values.) If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then each key must consist of
exactly 10 hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then each key must
consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and
“A”-“F”.
