DESCRIPTION
Enter the name of the access point to which you are connecting.
Click this button to go to the Site Survey screen and see available wireless devices
within range.
Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.
Enter a passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click Generate.
A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further
converted by the WAP5605 into a complicated string that is referred to as the "key".
This key is requested from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless network.
Select 64-bits or 128-bits.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
Select Open or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.
This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to log
into the wireless network. Keep this setting at Open unless you want to force a key
verification before communication between the wireless client and the ZyXEL Device
occurs.
Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to
communication.
Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
Select this option in order to enter hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.
The preceding "0x", that identifies a hexadecimal key, is entered automatically.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the WAP5605 and the wireless
stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bits, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bits, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure at least one key, only one key can be activated at any one time.
The default key is key 1.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the WAP5605.
