7.3.1 WEP Encryption

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access
points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast
communications in a network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the
same WEP key.

Your Prestige allows you to configure up to four 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit WEP keys but only
one key can be enabled at any one time.

In order to configure and enable WEP encryption; click Wireless LAN and Wireless to the
