DESCRIPTION
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
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 NBG-417N authenticate only those wireless
clients that use Shared Key mode and have the correct WEP key.
•
Select Auto to have the NBG-417N 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 NBG-417N
authenticates wireless clients using Shared Key mode that have the correct
WEP key.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the NBG-417N 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.
