5.4.2 Valid key characters
Keys consist of either alphanumerical strings of numbers '0'–'9', lower-case
letters 'a'–'z' and upper-case letters 'A'–'Z' or of hexadecimal values '0'–'9'
and 'a'–'f'.
Special characters are not valid.
On entering hexadecimal values, the number of characters for a key is
doubled. For WEP64, 10 hexadecimal numbers must be entered, for WEP128
26 are entered.
Many WEP-compatible wireless LAN devices from other manufacturers only
accept a hexadecimal format for the key or even generate their own special
key values on the basis of user-defined passwords.
You may have trouble entering a key that accepts your AirLancer
without a problem, when using a device from another manufacturer. In this
case, we recommend that you use the key of the less flexible device for the
connection.
5.4.3 Continuous change of key
Using an infrastructure network, you can enter up to four keys in the key list
of the access point. This simplifies the changing of keys. In this case, all
entered keys are valid in the wireless LAN during the transitional period. As
soon as all stations have been set, the old key can be deleted from the list.
The continuous change of keys of an access point should not be mistaken for
the optional four entries in the key list of an AirLancer. For each
AirLancer only one key is used, i.e. the currently selected entry from the key
list.
