DESCRIPTION
Enter the name of the access point to which you are connecting.
Click the Site Survey button to go to the Site Survey screen to see available wireless
devices within transmission range.
Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.
Enter a passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click Generate.
A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further converted by
the WAP3205 v2 into a complicated string that is referred to as the "key". This key is
requested from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless network.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
Select Open or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.
This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to log into the
wireless network. Keep this setting at Open unless you want to force a key verification
before communication between the wireless client and the ZyXEL Device occurs.
Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to communication.
Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
Select this option in order to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.
The preceding "0x", that identifies a hexadecimal key, is entered automatically.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the WAP3205 v2 and the wireless stations
must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure at least one key, only one key can be activated at any one time. The
default key is key 1.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the WAP3205 v2.
