Setting up IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) shared
keys prevents unauthorized access to the wireless bridge
network.
Be sure to define at least one static WEP key for data encryption.
Also, be sure that the WEP keys are the same for all bridge units
in the wireless network.
Data Encryption Setup
– Enable or disable the wireless bridge to
use either WEP or AES for data encryption. If WEP encryption is
selected and enabled, you must configure at least one encryption
key on the wireless bridge. (Default: Disable)
Shared Key Setup
– Select 64 Bit, 128 Bit, or 152 Bit key length.
Note that the same size of WEP encryption key must be set on all
bridge units in the wireless network. (Default: 128 Bit)
Key Type
– Select the preferred method of entering WEP
encryption keys on the wireless bridge and enter up to four keys:
•
Hexadecimal: Enter keys as 10 hexadecimal digits (0 to 9 and
A to F) for 64 bit keys, 26 hexadecimal digits for 128 bit keys,
or 32 hexadecimal digits for 152 bit keys.
•
Alphanumeric: Enter keys as 5 alphanumeric characters for 64
bit keys, 13 alphanumeric characters for 128 bit keys, or 16
alphanumeric characters for 152 bit keys.
•
Transmit Key Select: Selects the key number to use for
encryption. Bridge units in the wireless network must have all
four keys configured to the same values.
Note:
Key index and type must match on all bridge units in the wireless
network.
