DESCRIPTION
Choose Static WEP or Shared WEP from the drop-down list box.
• Select Static WEP to have the Device allow association with wireless clients
that use Open System mode. Data transfer is encrypted as long as the wireless
client has the correct WEP key for encryption. The Device authenticates wireless
clients using Shared Key mode that have the correct WEP key.
• Select Shared WEP to have the Device authenticate only those wireless clients
that use Shared Key mode and have the correct WEP key.
Enter a WEP key that will be used to encrypt data. Both the Device and the wireless
stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you want to manually set the WEP key, enter any 5 or 13 characters (ASCII
string) or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for a 64-bit or 128-bit
WEP key respectively.
