Key Length
For 64 bits encryption, each Key contains exactly 10 hex digits, or 5 ASCII
characters. For 128 bits encryption, each Key contains exactly 26 hex digits, or
13 ASCII characters.
Two ways to assign WEP keys
1. Manual Assignment - When you click this button, the cursor appears
in the field for Key 1. For 64-bit encryption, you are required to enter
four WEP Keys. Each Key contains exactly 10 hex digits (0~9, a~f, and
A~F). For 128-bit encryption, you are required to enter four WEP Keys.
Each Key contains exactly 26 hex digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F).
2. Automatic Generation - Type a combination of up to 64 letters, num-
bers, or symbols in the Passphrase column, then the Wireless Settings
Utility uses an algorithm to generate four WEP Keys for encryption.
NOTE: This function ease users from having to remember their
passwords and is compatible to some existing WLAN utilities, but
it is not very secure. "Manual Assignment" is more secure.
Default Key
The Default Key field lets you specify which of the four encryption keys you
use to transmit data on your wireless LAN. You can change the default key by
clicking on the down arrow at the right of this field, selecting the number of the
key you want to use and then clicking the Apply button. As long as the Access
Point or station with which you are communicating has the same key in the
same position, you can use any of the keys as the default.
You then click the Apply button to create your encryption keys. After you click
the Apply button, the Wireless Settings Utility uses asterisks to mask your
keys.
NOTE: Click the Apply or OK button to save the encryption set-
tings. The keys you entered will be masked by asterisks.
