6.3 Data Encryption with WEP

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 for data encryption and decryption.

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
display the Wireless screen.

6.4 Configuring Wireless LAN

Note: If you are configuring the Prestige from a computer connected to the wireless

LAN and you change the Prestige’s ESSID or WEP settings, you will lose your
wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change
the wireless settings of your computer to match the Prestige’s new settings.

Click Wireless LAN, Wireless to open the Wireless screen.
