3.1.3 WEP Setting

Additional security can be achieved by using the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption.
WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio, using one of the keys entered from
this panel.
Enable the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) option in order to activate WEP encryption for
transmissions between the stations and the Access Point. WEP is an authentication
algorithm, which protects authorized Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping.
Encryption: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in the adapter to prevent
unauthorized access. For more secure data transmissions, set encryptionto "128-bit" or
"64-bit." The 128-bit setting gives a higher level of security.The setting must be the
same for all clients in your wireless network(Default: None).
HEX: You can enter the WEP Key in hexadecimal(0~9,a~f),13 digit keys in 64 bits and
26digit key in 128bits.
ASCII: You can enter the WEP Key in ASCII (A~Z,0~9,a~z),5 digit keys in 64 bits and
10 digit keys in 128bits.
Key #1~#4:Key the WEP key in here.
Passphrase: Security keys for WEP encryption are generated from your Passphrase
string, so you must use the same passphrase on all the other stations in your network.
