• Pull down the Encryption (WEP) menu and select either 64

bit or 128 bit.

• Specify the encryption keys. There are two methods to set the

WEP keys, as described below:

To Create Encryption Keys Using a Passphrase:
Follow these steps.

1

Click the Create Key with Passphrase check box and type a

character string of your choice in the Passphrase field. As you

type, the utility uses an algorithm to generate one key (in the

case of 128-bit) or four keys (in the case of 64-bit)

automatically. (Remember, you have already selected either 64
bit or 128 bit.)

2

Select one key out of the four and click OK. Note: With 64-bit,

the first key is the default and is usually fine.

3

Navigate back to the Configuration tab and click the Apply

button and then OK to have the setting take effect.

To Create Encryption Keys Manually
If you have selected 64-bit encryption, follow these steps.

1

Click the Create Key with Manual check box.

2

You have a choice of selecting an Alphanumeric or a
Hexadecimal scheme.

Alphanumeric: 5 case-sensitive characters ranging from

“a-z”, “A-Z”, and “0-9” (for ex., MyKey)

Hexadecimal: 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of “A-

F”, “a-f”, and “0-9” (for ex., 11AA22BB33).

3

Enter your WEP key of choice in the key field, select one key

as the active key, and click OK.

4

Navigate back to the Configuration tab and click the Apply
button and OK to have the setting take effect.

If you have selected 128-bit encryption, follow these steps.
