• Default WEP Key
The default key must match the Access Point's configuration. If the
Access Point is configured to use "Open System", the default key
should be set to 0. If the Access Point is configured to use 40-bit or
128-bit WEP encryption key, the encryption key must be set to the
same setting as the Access Point's setting. See the following
section on how to set up the encryption key. In addition, there are
four keys (1-4) that an Access Point can use. If the Access Point is
set to use key 1, the default key must be set to 1 to correspond to
the Access Point's setting.
Encryption Key Configuration
As previously mentioned, there are four encryption keys that can be
configured through the control panel. For each encryption key x
(where x can be 1 to 4), the following control menu can be used to
configure the key:
• WEP Key x Format
This is the format of the key. It can be set to either ASCII or
Hexadecimal.
• WEP Key x Width
This is the number of bits used for encryption. This can be set to
either 40 Bits or 128 Bits and must match the Access Point's
configuration.
• WEP Key x
This is the key value. If the "WEP Key x Width" is set to 40 Bits, the
key values can be entered in the following 5 sub menus
(BYTE 1, …, BYTE 5). If the "WEP Key x Width" is set to 128 Bits,
the key values can be entered in the following 13 sub menus
(BYTE 1, …, BYTE 13). The key values must configure to match
the corresponding key in the Access Point's key configuration.
