Description
Select the preferred WEP encryption level, and ensure that
wireless stations have the same setting and key value
Normally, you can simply set this to Automatic. However, if
authentication fails, select the appropriate value – either
Open System or Shared Key. Check your wireless card's
documentation to determine the correct authentication
method to use.
Click either Hex (0~9 and A~F) or ASCII depending on your
input method. All keys are converted to Hex; ASCII input is
only provided for convenience.
Type the keys that you want to use. Other stations must have
the same key. Alternatively, you can automatically generate
keys by clicking Generate Key in Passphrase.
