Key Table
Default Key
Enter the key values to match other Wireless
stations on your WLAN.
This table is used when Encrypting and
Decrypting data. All stations always transmit
data encrypted using their default key (see
below). The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is also
transmitted. The receiving station will use the
key number (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which key
value to use for decryption. If the key value
does not match the transmitting station,
decryption will fail.
The easiest way to ensure there are no problems
is to have every Station, including the Access
Point, use the same key table (all entries
identical). Then, it does not matter which
key is used as the default key.
Select the key you wish to be the default.
Transmitted data is ALWAYS encrypted
using the Default Key; the other Keys are
for decryption only.
