DESCRIPTION
There are two types of WEP authentication namely, Open System and
Shared Key.
Open system is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not
an issue. The wireless station and the AP or peer computer do not share
a secret key. Thus the wireless stations can associate with any AP or
peer computer and listen to any transmitted data that is not encrypted.
Shared key mode involves a shared secret key to authenticate the
wireless station to the AP or peer computer. This requires you to enable
the wireless LAN security and use same settings on both the wireless
station and the AP or peer computer.
• Select Shared Key to have the NBG4604 authenticate only those
wireless clients that use Shared Key mode and have the correct WEP
key.
• Select Auto to have the NBG4604 allow association with wireless
clients that use Open System mode. Data transfer is encrypted as
long as the wireless client has the correct WEP key for encryption.
The NBG4604 authenticates wireless clients using Shared Key mode
that have the correct WEP key.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the NBG4604 and the
wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at
any one time. The default key is key 1.
