8.3 Data Encryption with WEP
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless clients and the access points to keep
network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a network. Both the
wireless clients and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and decryption. For
wireless LAN setup, refer to section 7.7.
Your ZyWALL allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key can be
enabled at any one time.
