encrypt and decrypt data packets, and any computer on a
WEP network must have the same key, otherwise it will not
be allowed on that network. It is recommended that you
select WEP encryption to reduce security risks and
unauthorized users from using the wireless LAN network
and access to important data.
Create Keys with Pass-phrase
WEP keys may be created using a Pass-phrase to randomly generate the four
keys. This saves considerable time when entering all four keys into each node on
the wireless network.
Key1, Key2, Key3, Key4
These four fields hold the manually entered keys. They will also display the
generated keys using a Pass-phrase.
Ensure that the WEP key entered here matches all other
applications and clients using the same network. WEP keys
can be case-sensitive, and incorrect keys will not allow
clients access to this network.
Note: Record your WEP key size and WEP key in the spaces below for later
reference.
