64 Bit
•
If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before
being transmitted. The receiving station must be set to 64
Bit Encryption, and have the same Key value in the same
position in its key table. Otherwise, it will not be able to de-
crypt the data.
•
Default Key - select the key you wish to be the default.
Transmitted data is ALWAYS encrypted using the Default
Key; the other Keys are for decryption only.
Key Table:
This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All
stations, including this Access Point, always transmit data en-
crypted using their default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is
also transmitted. The receiving station will use the key number
(1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which key value to use for decryption. If
the key value does not match the transmitting station, decryp-
tion will fail.
The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have
every Station, including the Access Point, use the same key
table (all entries identical). Then, it does not matter which key is
used as the default key.
128 Bit If selected, data is encrypted using the key before being trans-
mitted. The receiving station must be set to use 128 Bit Encryp-
tion, and have the same Key value. Otherwise, it will not be able
to decrypt the data.
WEP Authenti-
cation Options are "Open System" or "Shared Key".
Some Wireless cards and Access Points do not support both
methods. Check your documentation to determine the correct
value to use.
