Each key has 40-bits available to the user for configuration and are
displayed in two 20-bit segments. The remaining 24 IV (initialization vector)
bits are factory set and not user configurable.
1. Enter a PassKey (optional) as a plain text representation of the WEP keys
in the Encryption Key Maintenance screen.
The access point transforms the PassKey string into set of 4 WEP keys
using MD5 algorithms. When <Enter> is pressed, the WEP keys appear
in the WEP key fields and are the active keys. Once the keys appear in
the WEP fields, the screen behaves as if the keys were entered manually.
Pressing [F1] saves the keys to flash (keys remain active) and pressing
[ESC] discards the keys.
The PassKey provides an easy way to enter WEP key data without having
to remember the entire 40-bit (10 character) or 128-bit (26 character)
Hex digit string.
