8. The Wireless Security Settings screen will appear. If you want to enable WEP encryption for greater wireless
security, select the level of WEP encryption, 64 Bit Keys or 128 Bit Keys, and then enter a Passphrase. If you
use a Passphrase, a WEP key will be automatically generated after you click the Next button. The Passphrase
is case-sensitive and should have 16 alphanumeric characters or fewer. It must match the passphrase of your
wireless network and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (You will have to enter the WEP
key(s) manually on any non-Linksys wireless products.)
If you want to enter the WEP key manually, then leave the Passphrase field blank; you will be able to enter a
WEP key on the following screen. If you want to disable WEP encryption, keep the default, Disabled.
Click Next to continue, or click Back to return to the previous screen.
NOTE: The Wireless-G PrintServer also offers a Pre-Shared Key option for wireless security. To use
this method, refer to the Wireless Tab - Security section of "Chapter 6: Configuring the PrintServer
Using the Web-based Utility" for instructions.
9. If you entered a Passphrase, you will see the automatically generated WEP key on the following screen.
Otherwise, enter the WEP key manually in the field provided. If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the
key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then the key
must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are "0"-"9" and "A"-"F".
Click Next to continue, or click Back to return to the previous screen.
