The passphrase input is safer because it is up to 63 chars
long. ASCII input is a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13
(WEP128) characters long and limits the number of key
combinations.
Please refer to the other equipment’s manual to determine
the passphrase input style recommended.
Note:
Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20
characters or more for maximum security.
