Once you have set up
WEP
encryption, you have additional
options for how you connect with other Access Points and
Clients.
The bottom section of the
Encryption
page allows you to
adjust the following settings:
Default Key:
Allows you to select different Keys.
Authentication Type:
Gives you the option of how you
access different networks. Using the
Shared Key
option
restricts you to only access networks configured to your WEP
Key. Using the
Open System
option, allow you to access
networks without WEP. The default is
Auto,
which allows
access to both encrypted and open systems.
Note:
The Hexadecimal Key must be identical to all Access
Points and Clients on the network in order for this device to
connect to the wireless LAN.

The default settings are shown above. It is highly
recommended that the defaults be used.
