The 802.11b standard provides an optional encryption scheme called Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP). If your wireless network uses WEP encryption, you
need to activate the WEP keys and then enter a hexidecimal key.
The WEP transmit keys for the phone must match the WEP keys assigned to the
access point. Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 and Cisco Aironet Access Points
support both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption keys. If you do not use WEP
encryption in the WLAN, then choose None.
