WEP Key
A WEP key is a set of hexadecimal (hex) or ASCII characters used to encrypt
data. This parameter is only available when using WEP S
E . Be sure to record the WEP encryption key so you can retrieve it if
NCRYPTION
necessary.
To create a 64-bit WEP key, enter five normal text characters in the WEP key
parameter, which converts the characters automatically to 10 hex digits.
Alternatively, enter 10 hex digits (0 to 9, a to f, A to F) directly in the WEP K
parameter.
To create a 128-bit key, enter 13 normal text characters, which convert to 26 hex
digits, or enter 26 hex digits (0 to 9, a to f, A to F) directly in the WEP K
parameter.
Note: Clients often support more than one WEP key. Packets received can be decrypted using any
one of the keys if programmed, but packets are always transmitted with the default WEP key
number. If a transmit key number is set on the RLX2-IHx series radio, make sure all other radios
and clients use the same key. To set keys other than key 1 on some clients using Windows,
Advanced settings may be used.
Use these steps to program more than one key on the RLX2-IHx series radio.
