Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an encryption scheme used to protect
wireless data communication. The Disabled setting prevents the sharing of
data with other computers on the WEP network. There are two ways to cre-
ate WEP Encryption keys. Type the WEP Encryption keys in the available
fields manually. When manually typing the keys, you must use
Hexadecimal characters, which are the letters “A” through “F” and the
numbers “0” through “9”. To find out the WEP encryption set by other
wireless products in your network, such as the WAP54A, go to the setup tab
from the web browser to check the WEP encryption tab for the correct key
entries. If you are using other access points, please check their user guides
for more information on WEP encryption configuration.
Important: This hexadecimal number must match the Key
on all other devices on the wireless network, or this device
will be unable to transmit or receive data.
