WEP
Use the WEP screen to configure the WEP encryption for
the Bridge.
Security > WEP
Select a Default Transmit Key (choose which Key to use),
and a level of WEP Encryption, 64 bits (10 hex digits) or
128 bits (26 hex digits). Then either generate a WEP Key
using a Passphrase or enter the WEP key manually.
Default Transmit Key Select which WEP key (1-4) will be
used when the Bridge sends data. Make sure the other
wireless-equipped devices are using the same key.
WEP Encryption
In order to use WEP encryption, select
64-Bit (10 hex digits) or 128-Bit (26 hex digits) from the
drop-down menu.
Passphrase Instead of manually entering WEP keys,
you can enter a Passphrase. This Passphrase is used to
generate one or more WEP keys. It is case-sensitive and
should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters.
(The Passphrase function is compatible with Linksys
wireless products only. If you want to communicate with
non-Linksys wireless products, you will need to enter your
WEP key manually on the non-Linksys wireless products.)
After you enter the Passphrase, click Generate to create
WEP key(s).
Keys 1-4 If you are not using a Passphrase, then you can
enter one or more WEP keys manually.
In each key field, manually enter a set of values. (Do not
leave a key field blank, and do not enter all zeroes. These
are not valid key values.) If you are using 64-bit WEP
encryption, then each key must consist of exactly 10
hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit
Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge
Configuration using the Web-based Utility
WEP encryption, then each key must consist of exactly
26 hexadecimal characters in length. Valid hexadecimal
characters are "0"-"9" and "A"-"F".
