Static WEP Settings (Cont.)
Current Key:
Displays the current WEP key in use.
• When working with a single panel and a single WAP, it is recommended that
you manually enter the
Current Key
from the WAP into the selected WEP
Key.
• When working with a single WAP and multiple panels, it is recommended
that you generate a Current Key using the same passphrase on all panels
and then enter the panel-produced WEP key manually into the Wireless
Access Point.
• Keys may also be examined by touching the key buttons and noting the
keyboard initialization text.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s
Clear
button to erase stored key information.
Authentication:
Toggles between the two authentication modes:
Open + WEP
(broadcast
publicly) or
WEP
(encrypted).
• An
Open + WEP
network allows connections from any client without
authentication.
• A
WEP
network requires the client to submit a key which is
shared by the network WAP before it is given permission to associate with
the network. In this case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key.
In either case, if WEP encryption has been enabled, the client will still require
the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate with the
network.
