LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Mode Choose Static WEP or Shared WEP from the drop-down list box.
• Select Static WEP to have the ZyXEL Device allow association with wireless clients that
use Open System mode. Data transfer is encrypted as long as the wireless client has
the correct WEP key for encryption. The ZyXEL Device authenticates wireless clients
using Shared Key mode that have the correct WEP key.
• Select Shared WEP to have the ZyXEL Device authenticate only those wireless clients
that use Shared Key mode and have the correct WEP key.
WEP Key Enter a WEP key that will be used to encrypt data. Both the ZyXEL Device and the wireless
stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you want to manually set the WEP key, enter any 5 or 13 characters (ASCII string) or 10
or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key respectively.
