WEP
WEP Authentication:
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over
the network, the router offers secure data encryption, known as WEP. If you require high security for
transmissions, there are two options to select from: Open System, Share key.
WEP Encryption: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the
network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP. If you require high security for
transmissions, there are two alternatives to select from: WEP 64 and WEP 128. WEP 128 will offer
increased security over WEP 64. The encryption can either be HEX or ASCII.
Passphrase: This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input string and a
pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input the same string in both the AP and Client card
settings to generate the same WEP keys. Please note that you do not have to enter Key (1-4) as below
when the Passphrase is enabled. Passphrase will convert an inputted string into the HEX format which
will automatically fill the input space for Key 1 to Key 4.
Default Used WEP Key: Select the encryption key ID. There are 4 keys to choose from so that you will
not have to re-create a key every time you decide to have it as something different. You can just have 4
sets of keys to rotate instead of jus having 1 key. Please refer to Key (1~4) below.
Key (1-4): Enter the key to encrypt wireless data this can be in ASCII or HEX depending on the WEP
Encryption that you have selected above. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP Encryption Key
values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys for your selection. The
input format is in HEX (10 and 26 HEX codes) or ASCII style (5 and 13 ASCII codes) are required for
WEP64 and WEP128 respectively no any separator is included.
