In the Current Network Key field, select a network key from the drop-down list.
Values are: 1, 2, 3, or 4.
10 In the Network Key 1 field, enter the network key you wish to you use based on
the encryption strength as discussed in step 7.
11 Based on the encryption strength you chose in step 7, do one of the following.
For 64-bit encryption, you can choose to enable Serial Number Encryption.
When you enable Serial Number Encryption, the serial number of the
gateway is preceded with a 0 (numeric zero) and is then used as the Network
Key. Serial Number Encryption is not available for 128-bit encryption. If you
don't want to use Serial Number Encryption (64 bit only), disable it by
selecting Disabled from the drop-down list. Repeat steps 9 and 10 for keys 1
through 4 if you use 64-bit encryption. Go to step 12.
For 128-bit encryption, only one network key is used. Go to step 12.
12 In the WEP Key Paraphrase field, enter your information as follows based on 64-
bit or 128-bit encryption strength:
For 64-bit encryption strength, enter a passphrase (1 to 31 characters) and
click Generate. Four keys are generated based on the passphrase.
For 128-bit encryption, enter a passphrase (1 to 31 characters) and click
Generate. Four keys are generated based on the passphrase.
