12.3 WEP Overview

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) as specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard provides methods for both data
encryption and wireless station authentication.

12.3.1 Data Encryption

WEP provides a mechanism for encrypting data using encryption keys. Both the access point and the wireless
stations must use the same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt data. Your ZyAIR allows you to configure up to
four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys, but only one key can be enabled at any one time.
The following screen allows you to configure all wireless LAN parameters including Channels, ESS ID and
WEP security. Click BASIC CONFIG and go to Wireless LAN.
