Default WEP Key
The default key must match the Access Point's configuration. If the Access
Point is configured to use "Open System", the default key should be set to 0. If
the Access Point is configured to use 40-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption key,
the encryption key must be set to the same setting as the Access Point's
setting. See the following section on how to set up the encryption key. There
may be four keys (1-4) that an Access Point can use. If the Access Point is set
to use key 1, the default key must be set to 1 to correspond to the Access
Point's setting.
•
Reset WEP Keys
Allows you to reset all four WEP keys (WEP Key 1 through WEP Key 4) at
one time.
Encryption Key Configuration
As previously mentioned, there are four encryption keys that can be
configured through the control panel. For each encryption key x (where x can
be 1 to 4), the following control menu can be used to configure the key:
•
WEP Key x Format
This is the format of the key. It can be set to either ASCII or Hexadecimal.
•
WEP Key x Width
This is the number of bits used for encryption. This can be set to either 40 Bits
or 128 Bits and must match the Access Point's configuration.
•
WEP Key X
This is the key value. If the "KEY WIDTH" is set to 40 Bits, the key values can
be entered in the following 5 sub menus (BYTE 1, ..., BYTE 5). If the "KEY
WIDTH" is set to 128 Bits, the key values can be entered in the following 13
sub menus (BYTE 1, ..., BYTE 13). The key values must configure to match
the corresponding key in the Access Point's key configuration.

Authentication Method

This feature allows the user to select the authentication method used for the
wireless network interface. The options include open, shared, kerberos, and
leap.
