Description
Key Length
There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and
128-bit. Using ‘128-bit’ is safer than ’64-bit’, but
will reduce some data transfer performance.
Key Format
There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex.
When you select a key format, the number of
characters of key will be displayed. For example, if
you select ’64-bit’ as key length, and ‘Hex’ as key
format, you’ll see the message at the right of ‘Key
Format’ is ‘Hex (10 characters), which means the
length of WEP key is 10 characters.
Default Tx Key
You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you
can decide which key is being used by default
here. If you don’t know which one you should
use, select ‘Key 1’.
Encryption Key 1 to 4
Input WEP key characters here, the number of
characters must be the same as the number
displayed at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use any
alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if
you select ‘ASCII’ key format, and if you select
‘Hex’ as key format, you can use characters 0-9,
a-f, and A-F. You must enter at least one
encryption key here, and if you entered multiple
WEP keys, they should not be same with each
other.
