range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys.
128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”
range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
Enable 802.1x Authentication Check this box if you want to enable 802.1x authentication with WEP
encryption. You may refer to section 5.4.3.2 to enter the correct setting

5.4.3.2 802.1x
- 37 -
IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access
Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This
mode only authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encryption the data during communication.
It is suggested to enable 802.1x and WEP at the same time.
