Passphrase. This is a text string with a maximum of 16 alphanumeric char-
acters used for generating a WEP Key. Type the passphrase here. This
passphrase may not work with non-Linksys products due to possible incom-
patibility with other vendors' passphrase generators. If you'd rather not use
a passphrase and would rather enter the WEP Key manually, click the Next
button.
Click the Next button to continue.
Note: The Access Point's passphrase function when mixing prod-
ucts from other manufacturers into your wireless network. Linksys
products should always be used for optimum functionality. If
another company's wireless product is used, however, the WEP key
should be set manually.
11. The following Security screen, shown in Figure 5-7, will allow you to enter
your WEP key if a passphrase was not entered on the previous screen. If a
passphrase was used, the new WEP key will appear on this screen. Each
point in your wireless network must use the same WEP key for the network
to function properly. Verify that the appropriate key is entered and click the
Next button to continue.
The WEP key can consist of the letters "A" through "F" and the numbers
"0" through "9" and should be 10 characters in length for 64-bit encryption
or 26 characters in length for 128-bit encryption. All points in your wireless
network must use the same WEP key to utilize WEP encryption.
