To configure WEP Settings
WEP security is available in Infrastructure mode. WEP is a simple and efficient security mode, encrypting
the data using the RC4 algorithm. However, WEP has become more vulnerable due to advances in hacking
technology. Common equipment can find WEP keys in minutes. For stronger security, use WPA, or the
stronger WPA2, with AES (CCMP).
1. For Suite, select WEP .
2. For Authentication, select an option.
– Shared : Encryption keys of both parties are compared as a form of authentication. If mismatches
occur, no connection establishes.
– Open : A connection establishes without first checking for matching encryption keys. If keys do
not match, however, data becomes garbled and prevents connectivity on the IP level.
3. For Key Type, select an option.
– If you select Passphrase, for Key Size, select 40 bits or 104 bits , then for Passphrase, type an
alphanumeric phrase up to 63 characters in length. Spaces and special characters are allowed.
– If you select Hex , for Key Size, select 40 bits or 104 bits , then for TX Key Index, select a key index
value from 1 through 4.
Note: For interoperability with some products that generate four identical keys from a passphrase, this
index must be one.
