DESCRIPTION
Select this option to have the ZyXEL Device automatically generate an
SSID and WEP key. The SSID, WEP Encryption and key fields will not be
configurable when you select this option.
Choose WEP from the drop-down list box.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent
unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the
wireless network.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
The WEP key is used to secure your data from eavesdropping by
unauthorized wireless users. Both the ZyXEL Device and the wireless
stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
Only one key can be activated at any one time. Select a default key to use
for data encryption.
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5
characters (ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F")
preceded by 0x for each key.
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13
characters (ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F")
preceded by 0x for each key.
