4.4. “Encryption”
tab
You may desire an additional measure of security on your wireless network,
which can be achieved by using WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption.
WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using one of the keys
entered from this panel. When an encrypted frame is received it will only be
accepted if it decrypts correctly. This will only happen if the receiver has the
WEP key used by the transmitter.
This panel allows the entry of four keys, which can then be written to the driver
and registry. Each key must consist of 10 digits. If entered incorrectly, program
will not write keys to driver. Key1-Key4: These four fields must be used to enter
the keys.
Submit- this button updates the driver with the four keys displayed in Key1
through Key4. The keys are also written to the registry for permanent storage.
Encryption- this checkbox enables or disables encryption operation. When it is
checked through 64 bits and 128 bits, encryption is enabled. When disabled is
checked, encryption is hidden.
