WEP page
You can create up to four WEP keys. Corresponding values must be entered in the wireless LAN access point.
•
WEP authentication
— Select
Open
or
Shared
as a means of authentication between the wireless device and the wireless LAN
access point.
•
WEP key in use
— Select the WEP key you want to use with the Internet access point you are creating.
•
Key #1 length
— Select the appropriate key length. The more bits there are in the key, the higher the level of security. WEP
keys consist of a secret key and a 24-bit initialization vector. For example, some manufacturers refer to the 104-bit key as a
128-bit key (104+24). Both keys offer the same level of encryption and are therefore interoperable.
•
Key #1 type
— Select whether you want to enter the WEP key data in hexadecimal format (
HEX
) or in text form (
ASCII
).
•
Key #1 data
— Enter the WEP key data. The number of characters you can enter depends on the key length you have chosen.
For example, keys that are 40 bits long always consist of 5 alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal characters.
