WEP Encryption:
n n n n n Disable: Turns off the WEP encryption mechanism.
n n n n n WEP 64 Bit: For 64bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters or
10 hexadecimal digitals leading by 0x can be entered. For
example ABCDE or 0x4142434445.
n n n n n WEP 128 Bit: For 128bits 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal digits leading by 0x can be entered. For example,
ABCDEFGHIJKLM or 0x4142434445464748494A4B4C4D.
128 bits WEP is most secure, but has more encryption/decryption overhead.
Note that all wireless devices must support the same WEP encryption bit size and
have the same key.
Four keys can be entered here, but only one key can be selected at a time. The
keys can be entered in ASCII or Hexadecimal.
Click the circle under Use next to the key you wish to use.
OK: To save the WEP settings.
For additional security, Access Control allows restricting the network access to a list
of pre-determined network clients.
Each Ethernet interface card has a unique serial number called a MAC address. With
this feature enabled, only those network clients whose MAC addresses are listed here
will be allowed to access the wireless LAN.
