Select the WEP Encryption level:
• 64-bit (sometimes called 40-bit) encryption
• 128-bit encryption (sometimes called 104 bit encryption)
This selection also allows you to choose the input type for the keys –
Hex or ASCII.
Keys
• Use the radio buttons to select the default key.
• Enter the key value(s) you wish to use. Other stations must have
the same key values.
• Keys can be entered in Hex or ASCII, according to your Key Size
selection. Hex characters are the digits (0 ~ 9) and the letters A ~
F.
Passphrase
Enter some printable characters in the Passphrase field and click the
"Generate" button to automatically configure the WEP Key(s). For 64
bit keys, four keys fields will be generated. For 128 bit keys, only the

System
WPA-PSK
Like WEP, data is encrypted before transmission. WPA is more
secure than WEP, and should be used if possible. WPA-PSK is the
version of WPA, which does NOT require a Radius Server on your
LAN.
PSK
Enter the Keyword key value. Data is encrypted using a key derived
from the PSK. Other Wireless Stations must use the same PSK. The
PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
Encryption
Select the desired option. Other Wireless Stations must use the same
method.
