Encryption
Encryption – Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in the adapter to prevent
unauthorized access. For more secure data transmissions, set encryption to “128-bit” or
“64-bit”. The 128-bit setting gives a higher level of security. The setting must be the same
for all clients in your wireless network. (Default: Disabled.)
The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in Wireless PC Card is based on the
RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys are four 10 digit keys for the 64-bit WEP
setting and one 26-digit key for the 128-bit WEP setting. WEP security protects your
wireless LAN against eavesdropping and unauthorized access by hackers or 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.
