Security
On this page you can set the 802.11g security and encryption options for your ACR-201-
G device. You can use either WEP (the industry standard for wireless data encryption)
or WPA.
WEP works by assigning a Key Code to the sending device, which scrambles your
data, and then is decoded by a receiving device programmed with the same Key Code.
To successfully use WEP, you must enter the same key(s) into both the access point and
the wireless stations. If either device has a different Key Code, they will not be able to
decipher the scrambled data sent by the other device, and it will cause the data transfer
to fail.
The WEP encryption will be either 64-bit or 128-bit.
currently the 802.11 standard. The 128-bit encryption is supported by equipment from
a limited number of vendors, and thus will rarely be needed. For 64-bit keys you must
enter 10 hex digits into the key boxes on both the configuration software, and the access
point device. For 128-bit keys you must enter 26 hex digits into each key box. Note that
leaving a key box blank implies a key of all zeros.

Tip
A hex digit is either a number from 0 to
9 or a letter from A to F. For example
a 10 digit hex key could look like
123A45B67F. Use hex notation to
assign your WEP key, and optionally
your password.
