Figure 11. Configuration/Encryption
The dropdown
Method
box lists three options:
1. Disabled (default) - Disable data encryption
2. 40-bit WEP - Enable use of 40-bit WEP
3. 128-bit WEP - Enable use of 128-bit WEP
Key Generation
- There are two ways to generate a security key.
The first is by entering any text in the
Passphrase
field. Click the
Generate
button.
For 40-bit WEP, it will generate four keys, Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, and Key 4. Select
a key number from the dropdown list of the
Default Key
box. If you do not
manually select a key, key 1 will be selected. For 128-bit WEP, only one key will
be generated. Click
Apply
.
Another WEP key generation method is to insert the key values directly from the
keyboard. Enter your own key into one of the
Key 1~4
fields. Select that field
number in the
Default Key
field. If the WEP key is enabled on the AP, all clients
must use the same WEP key. Click
OK
.
Note: Most wireless connection problems arise from improper WEP settings so
make sure all APs and wireless stations use the same settings.
