Using the Wireless Configuration Wizard
See
Preparing the Wireless Stations
on page 182.
WEP
If you chose
WEP
, the
Wireless Configuration-WEP
dialog box appears.
Do the following:
1. Choose a WEP key length.
The possible key lengths are:
•
64 Bits
- The key length is 10 hexadecimal characters.
•
128 Bits
- The key length is 26 hexadecimal characters.
•
152 Bits
- The key length is 32 hexadecimal characters.
Some wireless card vendors call these lengths 40/104/128, respectively.
Note that WEP is generally considered to be insecure, regardless of the selected
key length.
2. In the text box, type the WEP key, or click
Random
to randomly generate a key
matching the selected length.
The key is composed of characters 0-9 and A-F, and is not case-sensitive. The
wireless stations must be configured with this same key.
