Linksys WUSB11 User Manual page 17

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an encryption scheme used to protect
wireless data communication. The Disabled setting prevents the sharing of
data with other computers on the WEP network. There are two ways to cre-
ate WEP Encryption keys. The first method is by typing a Passphrase into
that field and clicking the Generate button. This will generate WEP
Encryption keys based upon that passphrase. A second method is to type
the WEP Encryption keys in the available fields manually. When manual-
ly typing the keys, you must use Hexadecimal characters, which are the let-
ters "A" through "F" and the numbers "0" through "9". To find out the
WEP encryption set by other wireless products in your network, such as the
WAP11, you may run the USB utility or SNMP configuration program to
check the WEP encryption tab for the correct key entries. If you are using
other access points, please check their user guides for more information on
WEP encryption configuration.
Important: This hexadecimal number must match the Key
on all other devices on the wireless network, or this device
will be unable to transmit or receive data.
In the bottom drop-down box , choose which Default Key will be used for
the encryption. By default, Key 1 will be used. Click the Apply button
when you are done.
