64 Bit Keys
1 through 4
Select these keys for use with Encryption Mode set
to 64-bit encryption. Enter 5-byte values for a Key.
You do not have to set all four Keys. Only one Key is
used for a home network. Each value is represented
in hexadecimal. Use only these numbers or letters: 0,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, and f to set up your
encryption keys
Note:
It is generally a good practice to use only
lowercase letters when entering WEP encryption
keys. Uppercase letters can sometimes be confused
with numbers. For example, the uppercase letter “B”
is often mistaken for the number “8.” Using
lowercase characters minimizes the risk of confusing
characters when copying keys from one device to
another. Uppercase characters will automatically be
converted to lowercase when the key or keys are
applied and saved to memory.
Use two numbers or letters in each box. Record your
Key values. You will need these Key values when
you set up your client wireless adapter. The Key
values in each wireless network device must match
