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
to record the WEP encryption key so you can retrieve it if 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
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
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.
1 Selecting the key number for the WEP K
2 Enter the actual WEP key
3 Save the changes to the radio by clicking A
4 After the radio restarts, repeat these steps for each WEP key, clicking A
C after each one.

5 Select the desired transmit key number if necessary and save again (If **** appears
in the WEP Key parameter, the previously programmed key will not be changed
when changes are applied).
