Normally, you can leave this at Automatic”, so that Wireless
Stations can use either method ("Open System" or "Shared
Key".).
If you wish to use a particular method, select the appropriate
value - "Open System" or "Shared Key". All Wireless stations
must then be set to use the same method.
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 1.. Key 4
Enter the key value you wish to use. Other stations must have
the same key.
Passphrase
Use this to generate a key or keys, instead of entering them
directly. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the
Passphrase box and click the "Generate Key" button to auto-
matically configure the WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is
set to 64 bit, then each of the four key fields will be populated
with key values. If encryption strength is set to 128 bit, then
only the selected WEP key field will be given a key value.
