WEP Encryption
WEP Encryption
Select the option used on your Wireless LAN.
• None - This is the default. If selected, data is NOT encrypted
before being transmitted.
• 64 Bit Encryption - If selected, data is encrypted, using the
default key, before being transmitted.
You must enter a default key.
Other Wireless stations must be set to use 64 Bit Encryption, and
have the same Key value in the same position in their key table.
• 128 Bit Encryption - If selected, data is encrypted, using the
default key, before being transmitted.
You must enter a default key.
Other Wireless stations must be set to use 128 Bit Encryption, and
have the same Key value in the same position in their key table.
Passphrase The Passphrase feature will generate a Key from the phrase you enter,
which may be easier than entering keys in Hex (0~9 and A~F).
To use the Passphrase feature, enter the desired Passphrase in the field
provided, and click the Generate button.
Default Key
Select a key to be used as the default key.
Key Value If WEP Encryption is used, you must enter at least one key value, for
the Default Key. All transmissions are encrypted using the Default Key.
Other wireless stations must use the same key value in the same
position in their key table. (It does not have to be selected as the default
key.)
The other key values are optional, and are used only for decrypting
data. This allows you to use different keys for transmitting and
receiving, if required.
