WEP Key

You can choose “Create Keys Manually” or “Create Keys with Pass-phrase”

method to enter encryption keys. It allows the entry of four keys for 64-bit and

128-bit key according to WEP function select. To be written to the driver and

registry, each key must consists of correct digits and letters allowed. The detailed

descriptions will be shown as below for these two kinds of methods:

Create Key Manually

For 64-bits encryption:

- Five alphanumeric characters in the range of “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9”. (e.g. MyKey)

- 10 digit hexadecimal values in the range of “A-F” and “0-9”. (e.g. 11AA22BB33).

For 128-bits encryption:

- 13 alphanumeric characters in the range of “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9”. (e.g.

WEPencryption).

- 26 digit hexadecimal values in the range of “A-F” and “0-9”. (e.g.

11AA22BB33123456789ABCDEFF)

Create Keys with Pass-phrase

A Pass-phrase can be entered which is used as a “seed” to randomly generate the

four keys. This saves considerable time since the same keys must be entered into

each node on the wireless network.

Key1, Key2, Key3, Key4

These four fields can be used to manually enter the keys. This may be necessary if

you wish this node to match keys which is set in a different vendor product. These

fields also display the keys when they are generated using a Pass-phrase.

Use WEP key

This field updates the driver with the four keys displayed in Key1 through Key4.

These keys are also written to the registry for permanent storage.
