Encryption Description
Open Use the Open option as the default setting when no data packet encryption is needed over the network. Selecting this option
provides no security for the data being transmitted over the network.
40-Bit WEP Select 40-Bit WEP for the adapter to use the 40-bit key length WEP encryption. WEP keys are manually entered in the edit boxes.
Only the required number of edit boxes for a key length is displayed (10 Hex digit value for 40-bit keys). Use the Key Index drop-
down list to configure the four WEP keys. The adapter uses the selected key. Note: The default Hex digit keys are visible any
time they are used. As a security precaution after setting the key values for the network, the digits are replaced with asterisks
* within the encryption key fields.
If the associated AP is using an optional passkey, the active adapter WLAN profile is required to use one as well. The passkey
is a plain text representation of the WEP keys displayed in the encryption dialog box. The passkey provides an easy way to enter
WEP key data without having to remember the entire 40-bit (10 character) Hex digit string.
