Network Setup
Configuring WEP 128. WEP 128 provides a more robust encryption algorithm that WEP 64 by requiring
a longer key length and pass key. Thus, making it harder to hack through the replication of WEP keys.
WEP 128 may be all that a small-business user needs for the simple encryption of wireless data.
To configure WEP 128:
1 Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree.
2 Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the Configuration tab and click the Edit button.
A WLAN screen displays with the WLAN's existing configuration. Refer to the Authentication and
Encryption columns to assess the WLAN's existing security configuration.
3 Select the WEP 128 button from within the Encryption field.
4 Click the Config button to the right of the WEP 128 checkbox.
The WEP 128 screen displays.
5 Specify a 4 to 32 character Pass Key and click the Generate button.
The pass key can be any alphanumeric string. The controller and the Motorola MUs which are
supported by the Summit WM3000 series controller use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string to
the same hexadecimal number. Other MUs need to use WEP keys manually configured as
hexadecimal numbers.
6 Use the Key #1-4 areas to specify key numbers.
The key can be either a hexadecimal or ASCII. The keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length or
13 ASCII characters. Select one of these keys for activation by clicking its radio button.
