Chapter 10: Configuring Security
Security Modes

On some wireless client software (like Funk Odyssey), you can configure multiple WEP
keys and define a client station "transfer key index", and then set the stations to encrypt
the data they transmit using different keys. This ensures that neighboring APs cannot
decode each other's transmissions.
Example Of Using Static WEP
For a simple example, suppose you configure three WEP keys on the access point. In our ex-
ample, the Transfer Key Index for the AP is set to 3. This means that the WEP key in slot
"3" is the key the access point will use to encrypt the data it sends.
Figure 10.2 Setting The AP Transfer Key On The Access Point
You must then set all client stations to use WEP and provide each client with one of the
slot/key combinations you defined on the AP.
For this example, we'll set WEP key 1 on a Windows client.
