Figure 18. Configuration window — Encryption panel
The default setting is WEP Disabled and initially the key sections are blank.
The pull-down Method box lists two options:
•
WEP: Disable - Disable data encryption
•
WEP: Enable - Enable data encryption
If enabled data encryption, there are two options in the pull-down Key Length box:
•
40-bit WEP - Enable use of 40-bit WEP
•
128-bit WEP - Enable use of 128-bit WEP
Key Generation - There are two ways to generate a security key. The first is by
entering any text in the Passphrase field. Click the Generate button. For 40-bit WEP,
it will generate four keys, Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, and Key 4. Select a key number from
the dropdown list of the Default Key box. If you do not manually select a key, key 1
will be selected. For 128-bit WEP, only one key will be generated. Click OK.
