Encryption
Select the desired WEP Encryption level, and ensure Wireless
stations have the same setting and key value.
Authentication
Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If
that fails, select the appropriate value - "Open System" or
"Shared Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to see
what method to use.
Key Input
Select "Hex" or "ASCII" depending on your input method. (All
keys are converted to Hex, ASCII input is only for conven-
ience.)
Key Value
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have
the same key.
