System Configuration 3-29
You select a single key for encr yption of outbound traffic. The WEP-enabled client must have an identical
key of the same length, in the identical slot (1 – 4) as the Gateway, in order to successfully receive and
decr ypt the traffic. Similarly, the client also has a ‘default’ key that it uses to encr ypt its transmissions. In
order for the Gateway to receive the client’s data, it must likewise have the identical key of the same
length, in the same slot. For simplicity, a Gateway and its clients need only enter, share, and use the first
key.
The pop-up menu for enabling WEP offers these settings: On - Automatic or On - Manual .
•
On - Automatic uses a passphrase to generate encr yption keys for you. You enter a passphrase that
you choose in the Passphrase field. The passphrase can be any string of words or numbers.
Note:
While clients may also have a passphrase feature, these are vendor-specific and may not necessarily
create the same keys. You can passphrase generate a set of keys on one, and manually enter them on the
other to get around this.
Select the Default Key (#1 – #4). The longer the key, the stronger the encr yption and the more difficult it is
to break the encr yption.
•
On - Manual allows you to enter your own encr yption keys manually. This is a difficult process, but only
