Setting New WEP Keys
You can set new WEP keys two different ways:

are adding your Wireless AP to an existing WLAN or have any
non-Adaptec brand devices on your WLAN. Go to Creating Keys
Manually to continue.

If you are setting up a new WLAN and have
only Adaptec brand

on your WLAN, you can create a passphrase that
automatically generates the required keys and sets a default key.
