Encryption Tab
You may desire an additional measure of security on your wireless network.
Additional security can be set on the Encryption Tab.
Configuration Utility with the Encryption Tab Selected
Additional security can be achieved by using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
encryption. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using one of the
Keys entered from this panel.
When an encrypted frame is received, it will be accepted only if it decrypts
correctly, and this will happen only if the receiver has the same WEP Key used by
the transmitter.
Encryption (WEP)
Choose either 64 bit or 128 bit from the drop down list box. The default is 128
bit.
WEP Key Entry
Select either a password (Passphrase) or a key (Manual Entry) for your
WEP encryption.
Create with Passphrase – Enter a password in this field.
Manual Entry - Use this field to manually enter the key code. This may be
necessary if you wish to match a key in a different vendor’s product. Note:
The numbers cannot be all zeroes.
