DESCRIPTION
Select the wireless network identified by this SSID to which to apply the following Security
Mode.
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
NBG 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-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP.
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 NBG 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.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the NBG and the wireless stations must use
the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure at least one key, only one key can be activated at any one time.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG.
Click Cancel to reload the previous configuration for this screen.
