Chapter 4: Configuration
WEP
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.
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 (0-3) as below when the Passphrase is enabled.
Default Used WEP Key: Select the encryption key ID, please refer to Key (0-3) below.
Key (0-3): Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. 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 style, 5 and 13 HEX
codes are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively, the separator is “-“. For example,
using WEP64, 11-22-33-44-55 is a valid key, whilst 1122334455 is invalid.
