DESCRIPTION
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 NBG6716 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 NBG6716 occurs.
Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to communication.
