Mitsubishi Electronics A101 Network Card User Manual


 
64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method and
can interoperate on wireless networks. This lower level of WEP
encryption uses a 40-bit (10 hexadecimal digits assigned by the
user) secret key and a 24-bit Initialisation Vector assigned by the
wireless LAN adaptor. 104-bit and 128-bit WEP keys also use the
same encryption method.
After assigning the WEP keys, click APPLY to save and activate the
encryption. Manually assigned encryptions are more secure than
automatically generated encryptions.
Use Manual Assignment instead of Automatic Generation if you are
not sure whether other wireless clients use the same algorithm as
that of the Wireless LAN adaptor.
Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys.
