DESCRIPTION
Select the SSID for which you want to configure the security.
Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.
Enter a Passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click Generate.
A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further
converted by the WAP3205 into a complicated string that is referred to as
the "key". This key is requested from all devices wishing to connect to a
wireless network.
Select 64-bits or 128-bits.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to
use.
Select Auto or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.
This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP
key to login to the wireless client. Keep this setting at Auto unless you
want to force a key verification before communication between the
wireless client and the WAP3205 occurs.
Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to
communication.
Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
