Manage SIM card contents
The system administrator can store important information such as personal WEP

using a drag-and-drop operation or by using the Copy, Move, and Delete buttons
on the SIM Card tab.
For the changes to take effect, click Apply. Note that the button is inactive if there

WEP security

To increase the security of communication over the wireless local area network,
the Nokia D311 PC card offers the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security
feature. WEP uses the RC4 algorithm with an up to 152-bit key. The algorithm
provides for security via two methods: authentication and encryption.
Authentication is the means by which one wireless station is verified to have
authorization to communicate with a second station in a given coverage area.
