ONFIGURING

THE

ARRICADE

4-28

WEP
If you want to use WEP to protect your wireless network, you need to set
the same parameters for the Barricade and all your wireless clients.

You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually enter the
keys. To generate the key automatically with passphrase, check the
Passphrase box, enter a string of characters. Select the default key from the
drop down menu. Click “APPLY”.

Note: The passphrase can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

To manually configure the encryption key, enter five hexadecimal pairs of
digits for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the single 128-bit key.
(A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.)

Note that WEP protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but
does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the
Internet.
