5. The  Security Settings screen will appear. Enable or disable Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption for your wireless network. If you
enable WEP, enter a Passphrase or WEP key. Click the Next button to con-
tinue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.

WEP (Disabled/64-bit WEP/128-bit WEP) - If you do not want to use
WEP encryption, choose Disabled. To use WEP encryption (recommended
to increase network security), select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP from the drop-
down menu, and enter either a Passphrase or WEP key. 

Passphrase  - Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a
Passphrase, so a WEP key is automatically generated. It is case-sensitive and
should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. This passphrase must
match the passphrase of your wireless network and is compatible with
Network Everywhere wireless products only. (If you have any non-Network
Everywhere wireless products, enter the WEP key(s) manually on those
products.) 

Key 1 - This WEP key must match the WEP key of your wireless network.
If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exact-
ly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption,
then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexa-
decimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.
