Enabling Static WEP

Step 1 Choose Pre-Shared Key (Static WEP) on the Profile Management (Security) window.
Step 2 Click Configure. The Define Pre-Shared Keys window appears (see Figure 5-5).
Figure 5-5 Define Pre-Shared Keys Window
Step 3 Choose one of the following WEP key entry methods:
• Hexadecimal (0-9, A-F)—Specifies that the WEP key will be entered in hexadecimal characters,
which include 0-9, A-F, and a-f.
• ASCII Text (all keyboard characters)—Specifies that the WEP key will be entered in ASCII text,
which includes alpha characters, numbers, and punctuation marks.
Note ASCII text WEP keys are not supported on the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points, so
you must choose the Hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) option if you are planning to use your client
adapter with these access points.
Step 4 For the static WEP key that you are entering (1, 2, 3, or 4), choose a WEP key size of 40 or 128 on the
right side of the window. 21AG client adapters can use 40- or 128-bit keys.
