For 128-bit encryption:
Hexadecimal: 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f " and "0-9"
(e.g. 00112233445566778899AABBCC).
For 152-bit encryption:
Hexadecimal: 32 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f " and "0-9"

Important Note: The WEP keys must be set up exactly the same on all wireless devices in
order to communicate with each other.
This table describes the options available from the Security section:
Security Description
Enable WEP Enables the data encryption for the wireless node. If you disable the
Encryption data encryption (by unchecking the box) then no encryption method
will be used; this is also called Open System data encryption. To enable
encryption is to use the Shared Key data encryption method.
Create with A Passphrase is use to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal
Passphrase numbers for the key. If your wireless network Access Point uses a
Passphrase, you can use that here.
Once you type in the Passphrase, the generated key will be shown
before you click OK or Apply button.
Manual Entry The WEP hexadecimal numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used
in the wireless Access Point but rather if the key is manually entered.
Key Length The key length must be the same between all wireless nodes and Access
Points in the same network. The possible values for the data encryption
level are 64-bit, 128-bit, and 152-bit. The 64-bit data encryption is
also called 40-bit data encryption by some vendors.
Note: The 152-bit encryption mode only applies to the 802.11a mode.
Key1 The WAG511 device uses a selected WEP key to encrypt and decrypt
