If you choose WEP as the security configuration, you have to specify encryption key (Key 1 ~
Key 4) and authentication mode (open or shared). All wireless devices must support the same
WEP encryption bit size and have the same key.
Key1 to Key4 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.
Choose the key you wish to use by using the Default Key drop
down list.
Authentication Mode Open - Open system authentication simply consists of two
communications. The first is an authentication request by the
client that contains the station ID (typically the MAC address).
This is followed by an authentication response from the
AP/router containing a success or failure message. An example
of when a failure may occur is if the client's MAC address is
explicitly excluded in the AP/router configuration.
Shared - Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both
stations taking part in the authentication process have the same
"shared" key or passphrase. The shared key is manually set on
both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of shared
key authentication are available today for home or small office
WLAN environments.
