How to set up WEP
WEP provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the
network and encrypting data transmitted between wireless clients (and the access
point). WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric
strings) that are manually distributed among all clients that want to use the
network.
To use the WEP function, take the following steps:
1
Select
WEP
from the
Authentication Type
drop-down menu.
2
Select
128-bit
or
64-bit
in the
Key Length
field.
3
In the
Key Type
field, select
ASCII
or
Hex
.
4
In the
Default Key
field, select one key as the default key that you want to use
for encryption.
5
Manually type in a string of characters in the corresponding Key # (Key 1~Key
4) field that you selected in step.
6
Click
Apply changes
to allow the settings to take effect.
Both SpeedTouch™120g and the access point must use Passphrase.
