10.16.1 Static WEP

Static WEP provides a mechanism for encrypting data using encryption keys. Both the AP and
the wireless stations must use the same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt data. Your ZyWALL
allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys, but only one key can be used at
any one time.

In order to configure and enable WEP encryption, click NETWORK > WIRELESS CARD
to display the Wireless Card screen. Select Static WEP from the Security list.

Fragmentation
Threshold

This is the threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.

Select the check box to change the default value and enter a value between 256 and
2432.
