DESCRIPTION
Select the SSID for which you want to configure the security.
Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.
Enter a Passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click Generate.
A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further
converted by the NBG4615 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-bits or 128-bits.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
Select Auto or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.
This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to
login to the wireless client. Keep this setting at Auto unless you want to force a
key verification before communication between the wireless client and the
NBG4615 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.
Select this option in order to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.
The preceding "0x", that identifies a hexadecimal key, is entered automatically.
