3.3.3.2 WEP

1 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the

wireless network. Select 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit from the WEP Encryption drop-
down list box and then follow the on-screen instructions to set up the WEP keys.

2 Choose an encryption level from the drop-down list. The higher the WEP encryption, the

higher the security but the slower the throughput.

3 You can generate or manually enter a WEP key by either

• Entering a Passphrase (up to 32 printable characters) and clicking Generate. The G-560

automatically generates a WEP key.

or

• Selecting ASCII or Hex WEP key input method and entering a manual key in the Key 1

field.
