11.3.5.5 Non-802.1x WEP
If you select Non-802.1x WEP in the Stations Security Type drop-down list, the following screen will appear. The
Non-802.1x WEP feature allows you to enable a WEP key for wireless security without using a RADIUS server.
The Router’s card supports 40-bit or 104-bit WEP encryption. Whenever Non-802.1x WEP is used, any station can
connect to the Router as long as its SSID and WEP key values match the Router’s values.
To configure the Router for Non-802.1x WEP, do the following:
1. At the Key Encryption table, select a key (1 through 4) that you want to activate.
2. 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.
3. Select the Entry Method (ASCII or Hex) from the drop-down list.
4. Select the Key Length (40 bit or 104 bit) from the drop-down list.
5. Click OK to save the wireless settings in the Router.
