Chapter 3 - Software Configuration
64-bit WEP and 40-bit WEP are the same encryption method and
can interoperate in a wireless network. This level of WEP encryption
uses a 40-bit (10 Hex character) encryption scheme as a secret key,
which is set by the user, and a 24-bit “Initialisation Vector” scheme,
which is not under user control.
Together these two schemes make a 64-bit (40 + 24) encryption
scheme. Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 40-bit and others
refer to this as 64-bit. Diamond Digital WLAN products use the term
64-bit when referring to this lower level of encryption.
128-bit WEP Encryption
104-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP are the same encryption method and
can interoperate on a wireless network. This level of WEP encryption
uses a 104-bit (26 Hex character) encryption scheme as a secret key
which is set by the user, and a 24-bit “Initialisation Vector”, which is
not under user control.
Together these two schemes make a 128-bit (104 + 24) encryption
scheme. Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 104-bit and others
refer to this as 128-bit. Diamond Digital WLAN products use the term
128-bit when referring to this higher level of encryption.
Passphrase
Selecting TKIP or AES in the Encryption field is used as a password
to begin the encryption process. Note: 8 to 63 characters are required.
Selecting WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits in the Encryption field generates
four WEP keys automatically. A combination of up to 64 letters,
numbers, or symbols is required. Alternatively, leave this field blank
and type in four WEP keys manually.
• WEP-64bit key: 10 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F)
• WEP-128bit key: 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F)
Note: The Diamond Digital WLAN family of products uses the same
algorithm to generate WEP keys, eliminating the need for users to
remember passwords and to maintain compatibility between
products. However, using this method to generate WEP keys is not
as secure as manual assignment.
