11.3.5.4.1 Configuring Automatic WEP Encryption Keys
The 802.1x WEP security protocol uses port control with dynamically changing encryption keys automatically
updated over the network. To configure 802.1x WEP to generate keys automatically, do the following:
1. Select the Generate Keys Automatically check box if you want the Router to automataically create the WEP
security keys. A check mark will appear in the box, and the Encryption Key table will be removed from the screen.
NOTE: Disable (clear) the Generation Keys Automatically check box to allow 802.1x-MD5 stations to
connect to the Router
2. Enter the desired Group Key Update Interval, and confirm that the box contains a check mark. (By factory
default, Group Key Interval is enabled for 900 seconds.)
3. Configure the Radius Server:
a. Enter the Radius Server IP address in the fields provided.
b. Enter the desired Server Port value.
c. Enter the Shared Secret.
4. Click OK to save the wireless settings in the Router.
11.3.5.4.2 Configuring Manual WEP Encryption Keys
To configure 802.1x WEP with manual encryption keys, do the following:
1. Clear the Generate Keys Automatically check box. The Key Encryption table will appear in the screen.

connect to the Router.

3. Enter the desired encryption key.
NOTE: A WEP encryption key is treated as either a string of text (ASCII) characters or a set of
hexadecimal (Hex) characters. The number of text characters must be either 5 (for 40 bit encryption) or 13
(for 104 bit encryption). The number of Hex characters must be either 10 (for 40 bit encryption) or 26 (for
104 bit encryption). The only allowable hexadecimal characters are: A-F and 0-9.
