4.4.2 Wire Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Configuration
WEP provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to the network and encrypting data
transmitted between wireless bridge units. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal) that are
manually configured on all units in the wireless bridge network.
4.4.2.1 Enable WEP
Enable or disable the wireless bridge to use either WEP for data encryption. If WEP encryption is selected and
enabled, you must configure at least one encryption key on the wireless bridge. (Default:
Disable
)
4.4.2.2 Default WEP Key To Use
Select the key 1-4 to be used as the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key.
The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data. (Default:
WEP Key 1
)
