WEP Encryption Key Size, circle one: 64 or 128 bits
WEP Encryption Passphrase, if used: ____________________________
A Passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP ASCII characters and hexadecimal
numbers for the key. If the wireless network access point uses a Passphrase, you can also use
that here. Otherwise, you will have to manually enter the characters and hexadecimal numbers.
WEP ASCII characters and hexadecimal numbers: ______________________________
The WEP ASCII characters and hexadecimal numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used
in the wireless network access point, but rather if the key is manually entered.
