128 Bit / 64 Bit WEP Key
This is the 64 or 128 bit WEP key that must match other nodes’ encryption keys
in order to communicate: 10 characters for 64 bit, or 26 characters for 128 bit.
The EtherWind uses a Hexadecimal value for WEP. All 802.11b devices have a
way of translating their WEP or Security values to 10 (for 40-bit or 64-bit WEP)
or 26 (for 128-bit WEP) digit HEX values. Ask the manufacturer of your wireless
product how this is done for your PC and/or Access Point.
