Click the Site Survey button to go to the Site Survey screen to see available wireless
devices within transmission range.
Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.

A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further converted by
the WAP3205 v2 into a complicated string that is referred to as the "key". This key is
requested from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless network.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
Select Open or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.
This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to log into the
wireless network. Keep this setting at Open unless you want to force a key verification
before communication between the wireless client and the ZyXEL Device occurs.
Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to communication.
Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
