WEP
To enable WEP encryption, select the encryption type (either 40-bit
or 128-bit), and Key Format (ASCII, Hex, or Passphrase). Then
enter a WEP Key in the
Edit Key
field.
For 40-bit encryption you may choose the following:
ASCII:
5 characters
(case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z” and
“0-9” (e.g., MyKey)
Hex:
10 hexadecimal digits
in the range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”
(e.g., 11AA22BB33)
For 128-bit encryption you may choose the following:
ASCII:
13 characters
(case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z” and
“0-9” (e.g., MyKey12345678)
Hex:
26
hexadecimal digits
in the range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”
(e.g., 00112233445566778899AABBCC)
.
Create Encryption Keys Using a Passphrase
1. To create encryption keys by using a passphrase, select a key
format (either 40-bit or 128-bit).
2. Type a character string in the Passphrase field to generate the key
fields, and then click on
Generate
. As you type, the utility will
generate the four keys automatically.
3. Select one key from the
Edit Key
field, and then click on the
Apply
button to save and activate the changes.
NOTE: Remember that the WEP key must match the WEP key of your wireless
access point.
After defining the WEP keys, click on the
Apply
button to save and
activate the changes.
