WEP
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the
WLAN Utility offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP, making your data
transmission over air more secure. To activate the WEP Encryption, check the WEP Enabled
check box. An Encryption window will then appear. The instructions are as follows:
Pull down the Encryption (WEP) menu and select either 64bit or 128bit encryption
method.
Specify the encryption keys. There are two methods to set the WEP keys, as described
below:
Create Encryption Keys by Using a Passphrase
To create encryption keys by using a passphrase, click the Create Key with Passphrase
check box and type a character string in the Passphrase field. As you type, the utility uses
an algorithm to generate 4 keys automatically. Select either the 64bit or 128bit encryption
first, and type a string in the Create Key with Passphrase field. Select one key from the 4
WEP keys and click OK. Then click the Apply button on the Configuration tab to make
the setting take effect.
