Figure 11. Configuration/Encryption
The dropdown Method box lists three options:
1.
Disabled (default) - Disable data encryption
2.
40-bit WEP - Enable use of 40-bit WEP
3.
128-bit WEP - Enable use of 128-bit WEP
Key Generation - There are two ways to generate a security key.
The first is by entering any text in the Passphrase field. Click the Generate button.
For 40-bit WEP, it will generate four keys, Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, and Key 4. Select
a key number from the dropdown list of the Default Key box. If you do not
manually select a key, key 1 will be selected. For 128-bit WEP, only one key will
be generated. Click Apply.
Another WEP key generation method is to insert the key values directly from the
keyboard. Enter your own key into one of the Key 1~4 fields. Select that field
number in the Default Key field. If the WEP key is enabled on the AP, all clients
must use the same WEP key. Click OK.
Note: Most wireless connection problems arise from improper WEP settings so
make sure all APs and wireless stations use the same settings.
