User manual

Selecting WEP Mode
WEP mode let you specify whether other users have to have WEP enabled in order
to communicate with you.
Setting the mode to Mandatory means that every other host or APs have to enable
their WEP encryption in order for them to communicate with you. On the other
hand, setting WEP mode to Optional will enable other hosts and APs to
communicate with you regardless whether they have enabled their WEP encryption
or not.
