    GigaFast Ethernet Change Password User can change administrator password by Clicking on “Change Password”. Please type new password and click “OK”. Encryption (WEP) If an additional measure of security is desired on the wireless network, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption can be enabled. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the wireless adapter using one of the keys entered in the WEP Privacy field.
  • Page 14 GigaFast Ethernet Create with Passphrase: Alternatively, a “Passphrase” can be entered which is used as a “seed” to randomly generate the four keys. If User type a ASCII code as Passphrase to generate the WEP encryption for User AP, then other wireless devices connect to User WLAN device should use the same ASCII to generate the WEP key.
  • Page 15 GigaFast Ethernet Apply to save all changes. NOTE: 64-bit WEP is the same as 40-bit WEP The lower level of WEP encryption uses a 40-bit (10 character) “secret key” (set by the user), and a 24-bit “Initialization Vector” (not under user control).
