ONFIGURING THE

ARRICADE

You can automatically generate encryption keys or you can

manually enter the keys. For automatic 64-bit security, you enter a

passphrase that is used to create four keys (as shown below). The

automatic 128-bit security generates a single key by entering a

passphrase. To manually configure the keys, enter five

hexadecimal pairs for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the

single 128-bit key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the

range 0-9 or A-F.)

If you use encryption, then configure the same keys used for the

Wireless Barricade on each of your wireless clients. Note that the

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between

wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your

wired network or over the Internet.
