Figure 5. Wireless Network Properties Dialog Box
Network Authentication
Choose Open or Shared, depending on how you configured this option
on the access point.
Note
When the Authentication Algorithm on the access point is set to
Both, clients set to either Shared or Open can associate with the
access point. Clients configured to use WEP in Shared mode must
have a valid WEP key in order to associate with the access point.
Clients configured to use WEP as an Open system can associate
with the access point even without a valid WEP key (but a valid key
will be required to actually view and exchange data).
Data Encryption
Choose WEP.
Network Key
Provide the WEP key you entered on the access point Security
settings in the Transfer Key Index position.
For example, if the Transfer Key Index on the access point is set to “1”,
then for the client Network Key specify the WEP Key you entered as
WEP Key 1 on the access point.
Key Index
Set key index to indicate which of the WEP keys specified on the
access point Security page will be used to transfer data from the client
back to the access point.
For example, you can set this to 1, 2, 3, or 4 if you have all four WEP
keys configured on the access point.
The key is provided for me automatically
Disable this option (click to uncheck the box).
3. On the Authentication tab, configure the following parameter:
Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network
Make sure that IEEE 802.1x authentication is disabled (box should be
unchecked).
(Setting the encryption mode to WEP should automatically disable
authentication.)
4. Click OK on the Wireless Network Properties dialog box to close it and
save your changes.
