Note: WEP is extremely insecure. Its encryption can be broken by an attacker, using
widely-available software. It is strongly recommended that you use a more
effective security mechanism. Use the strongest security mechanism that all the
wireless devices in your network support. For example, use WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK
if all your wireless devices support it. If your wireless devices support nothing
stronger than WEP, use the highest encryption level available.

DESCRIPTION
Select the SSID for which you are configuring security settings.
Choose Static WEP from the drop-down list box.
Enter a passphrase (up to 32 printable characters) and click Generate. The GPON Device
automatically generates a WEP key.
The WEP key is used to encrypt data. Both the GPON Device and the wireless stations must
use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you want to manually set the WEP key, enter any 5 or 13 characters (ASCII string) or 10
or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key respectively.
