flow, only minor modifications to the value range between 256 and 2346 are
recommended.
10. Authentication Mode
Four authentication methods are supported: Open and Shared. Select Open, your
wireless network would be intruded by anonymous. Not only your network bandwidth
would be shared; but also transmitting data might be intercepted. Select Shared function
and it can be taken effect.
11. Encrypt Type - WEP
There are two types of encrypt type can be selected, including WEP and WPA.
WEP Encryption: Enabling WEP can protect your data from eavesdroppers. If you
do not need this feature, select "None" to skip the following setting. The WE-1120
supports both 64-bit and 128-bit encryption using the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
algorithm. Select the type of encryption you want to use (64 or 128 bit) and configure
one to four WEP Keys. The "128-bit" method is more secure than the "64-bit".
Key Type: For 64bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digitals
can be entered. For 128bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
digits can be entered.
Note: 128 bits WEP is most secure, but has more encryption/decryption overhead. Note
that all wireless devices must support the same WEP encryption bit size and
have the same key. Four keys can be entered here, but only one key can be
selected at a time. The keys can be entered in ASCII or Hexadecimal. Select the
item from drop-down list you wish to use.
Pass phrase: Automatically generate four WEP keys. A WEP key is either 10 or 26
hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit
in the WEP drop-down menu. Type a combination of up to 64 letters, numbers, or
