LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Security
Mode

Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.

PassPhrase

Enter a Passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click Generate.

A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further
converted by the NBG-419N into a complicated string that is referred to as
the “key”. This key is requested from all devices wishing to connect to a
wireless network.

WEP
Encryption

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP.

This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to
use.
