Data encryption (WEP)
: The IEEE 802.11 WEP (Wired Equivalent Pri-
vacy) standard defines two levels of encryption, a 64-bit key (this is some-
times represented by 40bits) and a 128-bit key.
When connecting to an Atheros access point, you can use the 152-bit key
(32 hexadecimal digits or 16 ASCII characters).
•
Key index
: Select the current encryption key index used by the access
point from between 1 to 4.
•
Using an encryption key
: Enter 5 (for 64-bit) or 13 (for 128-bit) alphanu-
meric characters (represented by 0-9, a-z, or A-Z).
