Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized access to
the network, and encrypting data transmitted between wireless clients and
the access point. WEP uses static shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or
alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all clients that want to
use the network.
WEP is the security protocol initially specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard
for wireless communications.
Setting up shared keys enables the basic IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) on the access point to prevent unauthorized access to the
network.
If you choose to use WEP shared keys instead of an open system, be sure
to define at least one WEP key for user authentication and data encryption.
Also, be sure that the WEP shared keys are the same for each client in
the wireless network.
Note that all clients share the same keys, which are used for user
authentication and data encryption. Up to four keys can be specified. These
four keys are used for all VAP interfaces on the same radio.
To set up WEP shared keys, click Radio Settings under Radio A or Radio G.
Setting up WEP shared keys
Key Type—Select the preferred method of entering WEP encryption keys on
the access point and enter up to four keys:
• Hexadecimal: Enter keys as 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9 and A-F) for
64-bit keys, 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit keys, or 32 hexadecimal
digits for 152-bit keys (802.11a radio only). This is the default setting.
• Alphanumeric: Enter keys as 5 alphanumeric characters for 64-bit
keys, 13 alphanumeric characters for 128-bit keys, or 16 alphanumeric
characters for 152-bit keys (802.11a radio only).
Key Number—Selects the key number to use for encryption for each VAP
interface. If the clients have all four keys configured to the same values, you
can change the encryption key to any of the eight settings without having to
update the client keys. (Default: Key 1)
