Using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility
older equipment that only supports 64-bit WEP. All Belkin
wireless products will support both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP.
Encryption Keys
After selecting either the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption mode, it is
critical that you generate an encryption key. If the encryption key is
not consistent throughout the entire wireless network, your wireless
networking devices will be unable to communicate with one another.
You can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can
type a passphrase into the "Passphrase" field and click "Generate"
to create a key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination of numbers
and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10
hex keys. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key
The WEP passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP key. Your Card uses
this passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different hardware
manufacturers might have different methods on generating the keys.
If you have multiple vendors' equipment in your network, the easiest
thing to do is to use the hex WEP key from your wireless router (or
access point) and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your
Card's configuration screen.
