LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Type a name to identify this security profile.

Security Mode Select WEP from the drop-down list.

WEP

Encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent unauthorized

wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network.

Select 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP or 152-bit WEP to enable data encryption.

Authentication

Method

Select Shared-Key to have the ZyXEL Device use the default WEP key to

authenticate the wireless client to the ZyXEL Device.
Select Auto to have the ZyXEL Device switch between the shared-key and open

system (the wireless clients and AP do not share a secret key for authentication)

modes automatically.
The default setting is Auto.

Key 1 to Key 4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ZyXEL Device and the wireless

clients must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 ASCII

characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 ASCII

characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.
If you chose 152-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 16 ASCII

characters or 32 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.
You can configure up to four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time.

The default key is key 1.
