WEP Key Source
Default Manual
Options Manual, Generate WEP keys by passphrase
Description This field specifies whether the WEP key will be generated manually or through a
user-specified passphrase. A passphrase is equivalent to a free-text password that will be
used to generate the WEP key. A passphrase is typically easier to remember and enter than
a long and complicated WEP key.
WEP Passphrase
Default
Options free text (e.g., “This is the WEP passphrase”)
Description This field is only available if WEP key source is set to “Generate WEP keys by passphrase”. A
standard hexadecimal password will be generated using the supplied passphrase. For
example, if “404tech” is entered, the WEP key will be “DB971608E942FC39BD89FC4ADB”.
