Connecting to the wireless network with a static WEP client
Static WEP clients should now be able to associate and authenticate with the access point.
As a client, you will not be prompted for a WEP key. The WEP key configured on the client
security settings is automatically used when you connect.
Association Tab Network Authentication Open or Shared, depending on how you configured
this option on the access point.
Note: When the Authentication Algorithm on the
access point is set to Both, clients set to either
Shared or Open can associate with the AP. Clients
configured to use WEP in Shared mode must have
a valid WEP key in order to associate with the AP.
Clients configured to use WEP as an Open system
can associate with the AP even without a valid WEP
key (but a valid key will be required to actually view
and exchange data). For more information, see
Administrators Guide and Online Help on the
access point.

Network Key Provide the WEP key you entered on the access
point Security settings in the Transfer Key Index
position.
For example, if the Transfer Key Index on the access
point is set to 1, then for the client Network Key
specify the WEP Key you entered as WEP Key 1
on the access point.
Key Index Set key index to indicate which of the WEP keys
specified on the access point Security page will be
used to transfer data from the client back to the
access point. For example, you can set this to 1, 2,
3, or 4 if you have all four WEP keys configured on
the access point.
