Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and
0–9� 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five two-
digit numbers� 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided into
13 two-digit numbers�
For instance:
af 0f 4b C3 d4 = 64-bit key
C3 03 0f af 0f 4b b2 C3 d4 4b C3 d4 E7 = 128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters
between A–F and 0–9� You will use this key to program the encryption
settings on your Router and your wireless computers�
note to Mac users:
Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit
encryption only� Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit
encryption� Please check your product to see which version you are
using� If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try
64-bit encryption�
setting MaC address Control
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to
specify which computers are allowed on the wireless network� Note:
This list applies only to wireless computers� This list can be configured
so any computer attempting to access the wireless network that is not
specified in the filter list will be denied access� When you enable this
feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client (computer) to
which you want to allow network access� The “Block” feature lets you
turn on and off access to the network easily for any computer without
having to add and remove the computer’s MAC address from the list�
