Encryption Screen
Encryption - For more secure data transmission, set
the Encryption to 128-bit or 64-bit to ensure
wireless network security. Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) is implemented in this adapter to prevent
unauthorized access to your wireless network. The
128-bit setting gives a higher level of security, but the
setting must be the same as other clients in your
wireless network. (Default: Disabled)
The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in
Wireless USB adapter WN3501AR is based on an
RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys provided
to ensure data confidentiality are four 10 digit keys
for the 64-bit WEP setting (first screen below) and
one 26-digit key for the 128-bit WEP setting (second
screen below). This WEP security protects your
wireless LAN against eavesdropping and unauthorized
access by hackers or unexpected intruders.
Create with Passphrase - Security keys for WEP
encryption are generated from your Passphrase
string, so you must use the same passphrase on all
the other stations in your network.
Manual Entry - Manual Entry allows the user to
manually enter key elements. ( 2 Hexadecimal digits
in each block)
Default Key ID - Choose the Key ID that has the
encryption string you prefer.
If you are using a key
generated from Passphrase, you must use the same
Passphrase and key on each station.
