Specifying the WEP key
To allow you to enable the encryption for the "Open System" and "Shared Key" authentication
methods, you must first enter at least one key in the key table.
Description
The table has the following columns:
● Radio
Shows the available WLAN interfaces to which the settings relate.
● Key 1 - 4
Enter the WEP key or the AES key.
For the WEP key, characters of the ASCII code from 0x20 to 0x7E or hexadecimal
characters from 0x00 to 0xFF are permitted.
You can choose between the following key lengths:
– 5 or 13 ASCII or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters (40/104 bits)
– 16 ASCII or 32 hexadecimal characters (128 bits)
Note
The hexadecimal characters are entered without being preceded by "0x". One hexadecimal
character codes four bits. The entries "ABCDE" (ASCII characters) and "4142434445"
(hexadecimal characters) are therefore the same because the ASCII character "A" has
hexadecimal code "0x41".
● Key 1 - 4 Confirmation
Confirm the WEP key.
Procedure
1. Enter at least one WEP key.
2. Click the "Set Values" button.
