If you are transmitting sensitive data across  

wireless channels, you should enable Wired  

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.  

Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the BLW-03FA 
and all of your wireless clients. You can choose between standard 64-bit or the more robust 
128-bit encryption keys. 

 

You can automatically generate encryption keys or you can manually enter the keys. For 
automatic 64-bit security, you enter a passphrase that is used to create four keys (as shown 
below). The automatic 128-bit security generates a single key by entering a passphrase. 

 

 

•

 

If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the BLW-03FA on each of 

your wireless clients. Note that the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data 
transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your 
wired network or over the Internet
