If data encryption (WEP) is enabled for the Access Point, enter the
encryption key (WEP key) here. Because this key functions as a
password that enables communication with the network, the key
entered here must be exactly the same as that set for the Access
Point. Only computers for which the key has been configured
correctly can join the network. The number of characters depends
on the “ASCII/Hex” and “Length” settings (see table below).

This product supports a function called “roaming” which allows the creation of a

this function, configure all Access Points to the same Network Name (SSID) and
Data Encryption (WEP) settings.
