WEP Encryption Key Values
If you select to enable encryption you may choose to enter up to the following
encryption keys.
For the 128-bit RC4 encryption that supports 64-bit WEP based on RC4
encryption algorithm are either:
5-digit alphanumerical value in the range of "a-z" and "0-9"
Example: SECU1
A 10-digit hexadecimal value, preceded by the characters "0x" (zero x).
Example: 0xABCD1234FE
For the 128-bit encryption based on the RC4 encryption algorithm are either:
13-digit alphanumerical value in the range of "a-z" and "0-9"
Example: SECURE1234567
A 26 -digit hexadecimal value, preceded by the characters "0x" (zero x).
Example: 0x1234567890ABCDEF1234567890
Hexadecimal strings that are not preceded by the leading "0x" will be
interpreted as alphanumerical string.
Note: The WEP key values you enter will remain visible only when you enter
the character strings. As soon as you close the Security Setup window,
the values will be stored in hidden characters: i.e. a next time the
Security Setup window will be displayed, you will not be able to read
the WEP key values anymore. You are advised to write down the values
you enter, prior to closing the window.
