The passphrase input is safer because it is up to 63 chars
long. ASCII input is a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13
(WEP128) characters long and limits the number of key

Please refer to the other equipment’s manual to determine
the passphrase input style recommended.

Note:

Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20

characters or more for maximum security.
