Select the desired option, and ensure the Wireless Stations use the
same setting.
• 40/64-bit (10 Hex digits) - data is encrypted, using the default
key, before being transmitted. You must enter at least the default
key. For 64 Bit Encryption, the key size is 10 chars in HEX (0~9
and A~F).
• 104/128-bit (26 Hex digits) - data is encrypted, using the default
key, before being transmitted. You must enter at least the default
key. For 128 Bit Encryption, the key size is 26 chars in HEX (0~9
and A~F).
Passphrase
If desired, you can generate a key from a phrase, instead of entering
the key value directly. Enter the desired phrase, and click the "Gener-
ate" button.
Key (1~4)
If you want to manually enter WEP keys, then complete the fields
provided. Each WEP key can consist of the letters “A” through “F”
and the numbers “0” through “9”. It should be 10 characters in length
for 64-bit encryption or 26 characters in length for 128-bit encryption.
TX Key
Select one of the keys to be used for data encryption (when you manu-
ally enter multiple WEP keys).
