7.1.1 Wireless Encryption Settings

WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an encryption method used to protect your data
during wireless communications. These settings must be identical to your existing
wireless network's WEP settings. If your network supports WPA or WPA-PSK security,
it is recommended that you use those encryptions for better security.
Authentication Type: Choose between Open System or Shared Key.
Transmit Key: Select a key to be the active key.
WEP Encryption: Choose between 64-bit and 128-bit encryption.
Passphrase: You can enter a passphrase and click on the Generate button and the
Access Point will automatically generate four WEP keys for you.
Key 1 – 4: Manually assign a passphrase for each key. If you selected 64 bits
encryption, enter 10 HEX characters (0-F) for each key. If you selected 128 bits
encryption, enter 26 HEX characters (0-F) for each key. For each key select either
Open System or Shared Key as your authentication.
